Building and Deploying Application EAR Files

The ALBPM Process Administrator allows you to create the ALBPM application .ear files and deploy them on your application server.

To use Proces Administrator to create and deploy ALBPM application EAR files, you must deploy and start the ALBPM Deployer application. Before creating the ALBPM application archives, you must configure a process execution engine.

  1. Login to ALBPM Process Administrator.
  2. Click on Engines
  3. Select the engine where you want to create the application You should see the configuration properties for your Engine.
  4. ClickBasic Configuration.
  5. ClickJ2EE Application Server Files.

    This page allows you to generate the EAR files for the ALBPM applications associated with this Engine.

    Note: When you access this page, the Process Administrator gets the status of each of the applications by contacting ALBPM Deployer. You will get a warning message at the bottom of the page if there was any problem contacting ALBPM Deployer. If this is the case, make sure the BPM Application Deployer URL (within the Application Server tab) is correct and that ALBPM Deployer is up and running on WebSphere.
  6. Click Create EAR () next to each of the applications you want to install.
  7. Click Install () next to each of the applications you want to install.
    Attention: This may take several minutes. Do not click any link on the page and do back in your browser until the page is automatically reloaded. When you click on the icon, ALBPM Process Administrator transfers the file over to WebSphere's Deployment Manager (by means of ALBPM Deployer) and then WebSphere goes through the application installation process.
