This plugin is used to build, deploy webMethods Integration Server(ESB) assets into their target environments and IntegrationServer assets(Application Integration) and Trading Networks assets(B2B Integration) to webMethods server or clusters. Plugin also supports manage server operations such as Start/Stop/Restart Integration Server instances.

FlexDeploy platform enables Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery capabilities for webMethods Integration Server, which focuses mainly on delivering Integration Server packages along with other types of artifacts.

FlexDeploy automates Build and Deploy processes along with the help of webMethods ABE, Deployer componentsFlexDeploy plugin automates Build using webMethods ABE and Deploy using wmDeployer.

Asset Build Environment(ABE)

ABE comes with a set of Build scripts that are used in building the checked out is packaged along with the webMethods product suite. ABE build scripts are used to create deployable artifacts using code from source control systems and generating deployer composites. It is used to automate the Build process for a This is also known as repository based deployment scenario. This is packaged along with the webMethods product suite. FlexDeploy build workflow must export code from SCM prior to webMethods build operation.

webMethods Deployer

Deployer WmDeployer is a tool used to deploy a wide variety of webMethods assets belong to various application integration components that reside on source webMethods runtime components (runtimes) or repositories to target webMethods runtimes. Deployer and its Command Line scripts are offered directly out-of-the-box to support automated deployments. 

This document contains instructions for automating the build and deployment of webMethods ESB (named IntegrationServer) assets (named packages) using FlexDeploy

to server or cluster runtime.

Supported Versions

  • Latest version of SoftwareAG-webMethods10.2 product suite has been tested.
