Use this activity to deploy an application with defined service levels into the WebSphere Extended Deployment hosting environment.

Tip: On the step for Map modules to servers, the application is targeted by default to the first available server or cluster. Be sure to modify the targeting to the correct dynamic cluster within that wizard step if necessary.

A service policy is used by the ODR to apply service levels to incoming requets, mainly through application placement and request prioritization. Tip: A default transaction class is created with every new service policy with a name such as "Default_TC_{service policy name}". Additional transaction classes are necessary only if you wish to view more detailed metrics in the charts.

Work classes contain URI patterns (or Web service, EJB, or JMS patterns) and conditional rules for associating requests to transaction classes. Transaction classes are then associated with service policies. Tip: Before saving work class changes or navigating away from the work classes page, validate the changes with either the OK or Apply button at the top of the page.
