IIB to ACE migration: Independent resource issue

Hi


*We are aware that independent resources will ALWAYS be deployed under an application in ACE. Our team mentions that was the case with IIB7 to IIB9 migration as well and IBM provided a workaround/APAR for it.*


Currently we are planning the migration of IIB100022 to ACE110012. The migration plan we are using is “Migrating an IIB 9/10 node with multiple integration servers to ACE 11 independent integration servers by using mqsiextractcomponents”.


Currently all our flows are deployed as independent resources (both message flows & message sets). When we try to load the broker backup using miqsextract components its loading in the ACE12 Node under default application named “{EG_Name}_DefaultApplication”.


Even new deployment of independent resources are deployed under the same default application. A name for the default application automatically decided and created (if not exists) for the deployment of independent resources. We have 3500 plus flows in production and this application approach is neither a viable nor feasible solution for us.

This application/in issue is going to be a huge problem. Currently we have 3500 plus flows in production and this application approach is neither a viable nor feasible solution for us. This requires a complete design change followed by complete end to end testing.


We need to check with the product team regarding it. I am positive we cant be the only team facing this issue which would practically result in a design change.

The question is:


Is there a must for message flows to be inside an application? If so we are looking for a workaround solution for this.

    Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request but unfortunately on this occasion we do not intend to take this idea forward. Applications and libraries as groupings for artifacts deployed to the product runtime have been a core part of our architectural strategy since they were first introduced ten years ago as part of WMBv8. Since that time, we have tried to encourage the use and adoption of applications by all users who have previously used independent resources defined in integration projects. As noted, in ACEv11 and ACEv12 you can still deploy older BAR files that contain independent resources, but these are deliberately placed into the default application - whose name you can control through the server.conf.yaml file. We believe there are many advantages for the adoption of applications and libraries. Some of these are outlined in this topic from the IIBv10 documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/integration-bus/10.0?topic=overview-benefits-using-applications-libraries

    As discussed in the direct communication we had, we will continue to work with you to help you move forward with your gradual adoption of applications. Status of this idea is closed.
