Logging in to the Archive Viewer

To log into the Archive Viewer:

  1. Launch the Archive Viewer using the Archive Viewer URL. The URL format is http://hostname:8585/archivingviewer where hostname is the name of the computer on which the BPM Web Applications context is installed. The default port for ALBPM 6.0 Enterprise is 8686, as shown. However, your particular installation may be configured on a different port. Check with your system administrator. If no archive database configurations have been added to the Archive Viewer, the Database Configuration page appears, and you should follow steps 2 through 6. Otherwise, if at least one database has been configured, then the Archive Viewer login page appears, and you can go directly to step 7.
  2. On the Database Configuration page, enter a name in the Configuration Name field. This name will be used to store the connection information for the archive database
  3. Select the an option from the Database Type drop-down list. This should be the same database type as you specified when adding the archive database external resource in the Process Administrator.
  4. Click Next. The Database Configuration Properties page will appear.
  5. In the Database Configuration Properties page, enter the same properties for the archive database external resource that you entered in the Process Administrator. If the properties are not entered as an exact match of those stored in the Process Administrator, the Archive Viewer will be unable to access the archive database.
  6. Click Next. The Archive Viewer Login page will appear.
  7. In the Archive Viewer login page, select the archive database configuration you want to access, and click Login. The main Archive Viewer page will appear.
