Deployment is the mechanism by which services move from being stored in the Registry to becoming active in iWay Service Manager (iSM). Deployment separates the creation of iSM functions into a design phase and an implementation phase. Deploying a service enables it to be used in an iSM run-time environment at a system level, not a listener level. Deployed services can also be exposed as web services if there are XML schemas at both ends (request/response). Deploying and undeploying are useful during development and on a production server, since services can evolve through multiple versions. For information on how to deploy a service as a web service, see the iWay Designer User’s Guide.

Procedure: How to Deploy a Service

To deploy a service:

  1. In the left console pane of the Deployments menu, select Services.

    The Service Management pane opens.

  2. Click Deploy.

    The Available Services pane opens.

    The table that is provided lists all services that are ready for deployment. It also includes the service creation date, the system where the service was created, a version number, and a short description.

  3. Select the service you want to deploy, for example, Samples.SciFiBooks.1, and click Deploy.

    You are returned to the Service Management pane. Notice that Samples.SciFiBooks.1 is now included in the list of deployed services and can be called by other process flows or deployed as a web service.

Procedure: How to Undeploy a Service

To undeploy a service:

  1. In the left console pane of the Deployments menu, select Services.

    The Service Management pane opens.

  2. Select the service you want to undeploy, for example, Samples.SciFiBooks.1, and click Undeploy.

    The service is undeployed and no longer appears in the Service Management pane.

Procedure: How to Visualize a Service

To visualize a service:

  1. In the left console pane of the Deployments menu, select Services.

    The Service Management pane opens.

  2. Click the eye icon in the View column.

    A graphical representation of the process flow that is encapsulated in the service is displayed.

    For more information on the structure of process flows, see the iWay Designer User’s Guide.

  3. Click Back to return to the Service Management pane.
