Building and Deploying Application EAR Files

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

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

Note: When configuring WebSphere Application Server, you can only use Process Administrator to deploy applications in a single-node configuration. The BPM Deployer application is not supported in multi-node configurations.
