About Integration Runtimes

An integration runtime allows you to run integrations wherever you decide to deploy it and provides the following capabilities:

Integration Runtime Types

Based on the environment the runtimes are hosted, the Integration Runtimes are classified as follows:

Functionally, all the types of runtimes are equivalent. The terms Edge and Cloud are used to differentiate between runtimes you host and those hosted by IBM. You can use cloud runtime in production when you do not want to setup an edge runtime in your own environment. No additional infrastructure is required to use the default runtimes.

Using edge runtimes allows you to keep data within the local environment, reduce network latency, and comply with regional data privacy regulations. You must register the edge runtime to allow it to be managed from webMethods Integration.

Integration Runtimes User Interface Elements

Integration Runtimes is the control plane and the entry point for using the Central Control, Distributed Execution capability and it resides as a tab on the IBM webMethods Integration home page.

The Card View is the default view that displays the runtime instances as cards. However, you can switch to List View by clicking the List icon () located on the upper-right corner of the Integration Runtimes page.

Access Desired Data on the Integration Runtimes Page

The Integration Runtimes page can precisely display the data you need by utilizing the filters and search options.

You can search runtimes based on the matching words entered in the Search text box on the top of the page. For example, if the runtime name is RHES_990POK001, you can either enter 990 or POK in the text box and click Search. The matching results appear.

You can use filters to view the desired runtimes based on the status and category types.

  1. Go to Integration Runtimes. A list of all registered runtimes appears.

  2. Select the applicable filter options.

    You can use a combination of these filter options. The sample screen that follows displays the runtimes based on the Offline and Enabled filter types.
