Configuring WebSphere Application Server
- 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.
- Adding Authentication Data for JDBC
Before creating JDBC datasources, you must define the authentication information for the JDBC connections.
- Creating a New JDBC Provider
You must create and configure a new JDBC provider to use the JDBC drivers provided by BEA.
- Creating a JDBC Datasource for Directory Database
After creating a JDBC Provider, you must create a JDBC datasource to provide database connectivity to ALBPM applications. The following procedures show you how to create a JDBC datasource for the ALBPM directory database.
- Creating a JDBC Datasource for the Engine Database
After creating a JDBC datasource for the directory database, you another JDBC resource to provide database connectivity to ALBPM applications for the ALBPM engine database.
- Creating a WebSphere JMS Bus
You need to provide a JMS service to ALBPM applications. This procedure shows you how to configure WebSphere Application Server's Embedded JMS service. Other external JMS providers may be used. Check the Installation Guide for compatibility information.
- Creating JMS Resources
You need to define a JMS Queue Connection Factory, a Queue, a Topic Connection Factory and a Topic for ALBPM applications.
- Configuring a Work Manager
You need to create a Work Manager configuration in WebSphere to provide asynchronous transaction processing capabilities to ALBPM Engine.
- Configuring JVM Properties
You need to configure each WebSphere Server to use additional system properties when launching the Java Virtual Machine.
- Restarting WebSphere Servers
After configuring all the needed resources in your WebSphere installation, you must re-start all your WebSphere Servers, Node managers and Deployment manager.
- Setting ALBPM properties for WebSphere
You must configure your Process Engine with some WebSphere-related properties via ALBPM Process Administrator.
- Preparing ALBPM Applications
Some of the ALBPM applications need additional configuration changes before deploying them into WebSphere.
