Supported transports to publish stubs to Istio or Kubernetes

You can review the transports that support publishing stubs to Kubernetes along with any considerations before you run stubs in Kubernetes. Stubs created based only on the HTTP transport are supported in Istio.

Important: Istio supports the stubs created in Rational® Integration Tester based only on the HTTP transport.

Transport Directory under UserLibs in the tar.gz file to which third-party library files are automatically copied. Where blank this entry is not applicable. (See explanation in Automatic copying of library files.) Are rule host and port environment variables required when you run a stub in Kubernetes?
File No
FIX Yes, if you are routing to the stub by using the HTTP/TCP proxy.
HTTP1 Yes, if you are routing to the stub by using the HTTP/TCP proxy.
JMS JMS Yes, if you are using the sift-and-pass-through stubbing mode.
Kafka
MQTT Yes, if you are routing to the stub by using the HTTP/TCP proxy.
RabbitMQ

TIBCO Rendezvous TIBCO No
TIBCO SmartSockets TIBCO No
UDP
WebSphere® Application Server Service Integration Bus (SIBus) WAS Yes, if you are using the SIBus Mediation, for example, to allow sift-and-pass-through stubbing.
WebSphere® MQ WMQ No
1 - The transport is also supported on Istio.

Automatic copying of library files

When you publish a stub to Kubernetes, the library files (JAR files) required by one or more transports that are used by the stub are automatically packaged as a tag.gz archive file named userlibs.tar.gz in the output directory. The files are copied from the location that you configured in the Library Manager.
