Installing ALBPM Deployer

The AquaLogic BPM Deployer is a JEE application that simplifies the procedures for deploying, starting, and stopping the ALBPM web applications using JEE.

The ALBPM Deployer acts as a bridge between the web application server and the ALBPM Process Administrator. Using the ALBPM deployer you can use the Process Administrator to control your web applications without using the administration console of your application server.
  1. Login to WebSphere's Administration Console. By default, it runs on http://host:9060/ibm/console.
  2. Go to Applications > Install New Applications and select ALBPM Deployer EAR file.

    The ALBPM Deployer consists of an EAR file provided with the installation of ALBPM Enterprise. It is located under the following directory: BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/j2eews/j2ee/websphere/deployer.

    Two copies are provided. You should pick one depending on whether your WebSphere environment has Global Security enabled:
    • wasj2eedeployer.ear: If security is disabled.
    • wasj2eedeployersecured.ear: If security is enabled.
    Note: If WebSphere's Administration Console didn't prompt you for a password at login, it probably means Global Security is disabled.
  3. Click Next and review the installation options. Accepting the default installation options works for most cases. Always refer to WebSphere's official documentation for details.
  4. Click Next and select the WebSphere server where to install ALBPM Deployer. On a single-server setup, you must install it on the only server available.
    Restriction: On a clustered WebSphere environment, ALBPM Deployer must be installed in the Deployment Manager server (dmgr). WebSphere's Console may not allow you to pick the Deployment Manager server as a target for installing applications; If this is the case, you must install ALBPM Deployer using other means, such as WebSphere's wsadmin command-line tool.
  5. Click Next again, and Finish after reviewing all selected options. You should get confirmation that Fuego WebSphere Deployer application was successfully installed.
  6. Save your WebSphere configuration changes.
  7. Go to Applications > Enterprise Applications and start Fuego WebSphere Deployer application.
The ALBPM WebSphere Deployer is now installed and ready.
