Sonic ESB Application Deployment using SDM



I created a Sonic based app in Workbench

How to deploy and run this on my QA env?

Deployment – the need



Deployment – the parts

Domain Manager

Message Broker

ESB Container 2

ESB Container 1


Sonic MQ and ESB


Sonic Application consists of• ESB Processes

– Detour Pattern Implementation Process– Process Document Process

• ESB Services– Content Based Routing Service– XML Transformation Service– Simulation Service [Custom]

• ESB Endpoints– DetourPattern.Entry– SimulationServiceInstance.Entry

• ESB Resources– Configuration/Definition Files (xcbr, xslt, xml)– JAR Files

Deployment – The ESB part

What do I deploy?

ESB Deployment

Steps Involved in ESB Deployment

Create Export Archive

Create Custom Tailoring Rules

Create Map from Export Archive

Edit Map Parameters for Target Domain

Apply Map to Export Archive

Produce Analysis Report

Check Map Log File

Import Tailored Archive into

Target DomainCheck Import

Log File



ESB Deployment

Sonic ESB Deployment Tool• Graphical Tool

• Export SonicESB Artifacts for Deployment

• Create Deployment Archive (.XAR) Sonic ESB Admin Tool

• Command Line Tool

• Create Map File

• Apply Map File to Archive

Tools Involved with ESB Deployment



ESB Deployment

Messaging Infrastructure• JMS Destinations

• MF Containers

• Brokers

• Clusters

• DRA Configuration

• ...

XAR only deals with ESB artifacts

What is NOT in XAR



ESB Deployment

Exclude required artefacts (e.g. dev.CBR) from ignore list

– by modifying default ExportProperties.xml

Export using ESBAdmin

ESBAdmin> export archive c:\Projects\Sales\salesdev.xar C:\Projects\Sales\ExportProperties.xml

Including development environment artefacts

What is SDM?

SDM


Sonic Deployment Manager

Software tool to perform

• Installation

• Configuration

• Deployment

What is it?




What is a model?




Benefits

Completely Automated Server Installation Software Lifecycle Support Versioned Sonic Configurations Repeatable Installation of Sonic Deployment Updates of an existing Sonic Deployment




Create the Model to describe your deployment configuration• Domain Manager• Message Brokers• Containers• Acceptors• Other SonicMQ® artifacts

Run SDM to create the deployment described in the Model.

How do I use it?




Domain Configuration• Domain Manager

Base Configuration• Message Brokers• Clusters• Acceptors

ESB Configuration• ESB Containers• ESB XAR File(s)

Event Monitor

Levels of Configuration




Not everything is exported by domaintoModel• Examples

– JNDI objects

– Security configuraiton elements Users Groups ACLs QoPs

For security-related config elements• Use admin utility (configadmin)

What’s left



Other deployment tasks

Incremental Deployment! Also via SDM!

• CleanInstallation• UpdateInstallation

Version the involved model file(s)!

• Version Control

Approach



The Deployment Model

Model.xml

• <GeneralConfig>

• <DSReference>

• <DSHost>

• <MQBase>

• <ESBBase>

Domain Configuration

Describes the Model

Connection to the Domain Manager

Create the Domain Manager

Install Sonic MQ

Install Sonic ESB

Summary - SDM

The deployment process is now… Automated Simplified Repeatable Less error-prone

Very useful for large and frequent deployments
