WebSphere
A DeployHub deployment can point to one or more Repositories which contain the artifacts (.ear, .jar, and .war files) that make up a WebSphere application. These are referenced in DeployHub by one or more Components (and one or more of their Component__Items) within an Application. A Post Action is then executed which deploys these artifacts into WebSphere. The user creates the Action, which itself contains Procedures. The Procedure defined to the Action for a WebSphere deployment is called “WebSphereDeploy.”
Creating the WebSphere Action
New Action for the WebSphere
Once you have imported your Procedures, you can define your Action. Change to the Actions list view and select “Add” menu.
Name the new Action “WebSphereDeployAction” (no spaces).
Now we are going to customize this Action. You will see the ‘Activity Hub’ on the righthand side of your screen. Navigate to your Domain to find the Procedures. Drag them onto the area under Start.
At this point the Action is ready to be used by anyone with access (based on Domain and security options). Each Component that uses the Action will need to define specific values. The Action can now be placed into the Post Action field of a Component as part of an Application deployed to a WebSphere region.
