Setting up a web-app clustered environment for IBM Distributed Marketing

You can create a clustered environment in the IBM WebSphere Application Server to use within IBM Distributed Marketing.

Because IBM Distributed Marketing is an application that is accessed by many users, such as brokers, branch managers, local sales, and partners, a clustered environment within WebSphere helps deliver high availability and scalability.

Currently, Distributed Marketing supports only a WebSphere clustered deployment.

You must perform the following steps to add Distributed Marketing to your clustered environment.
  1. Set up IBM WebSphere Application Server clusters on two or more WebSphere servers.
    1. Configure the IBM WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager.
    2. Configure the IBM WebSphere Application Server Cluster Nodes.
    3. Configure the web server with the IBM WebSphere Application Server (IBM HTTP Server).
  2. Mount the IBM Distributed Marketing application file system across the cluster servers.
  3. Deploy IBM Distributed Marketing on the IBM WebSphere Application Server cluster.
