Integrating Oracle BPM with WebLogic Portal

The tasks in this section show you how to configure Oracle BPM WorkSpace to be used as a portal within WebLogic Portal.

  1. Review Configuration Prerequisites See Installation Prerequisites. This topic provides information about the required software you must install before using this guide.
  2. Configure Oracle BPM on Oracle WebLogic Server. Follow the procedures for WebLogic Server outlined in Configuring Oracle BPM Enterprise on J2EE. Depending on the requirements of your environment, you can create a single-node or clustered installation.
    Note: When configuring Oracle BPM, note the following:
    • Do not deploy the WorkSpace application. The WorkSpace application will be deployed on the WebLogic Portal in later steps.
    • Ensure that you configure Single Sign On (SSO)
  3. Configure domain trust and create a foreign JNDI provider. If you are configuring an environment where WebLogic Portal and Oracle BPM are installed in different domains, you must perform this step. This allows the WorkSpace application domain to communicate with the domain where the Oracle BPM engine is deployed.

    See Configuring WorkSpace Across Multiple Domains for more information.

  4. Create the WorkSpace application files See Generate the WorkSpace Application.
  5. Create the weblogic participant You must create a weblogic participant within your Oracle BPM organization. This participant must have the same username and password you use for your Oracle WebLogic Server domain. You must also ensure that this participant is assigned to the proper roles for the projects you are deploying.

    See Creating a Participant Using Process Administrator for information on creating a participant.

  6. Deploy the Oracle BPM WAR file to WebLogic Portal. See Deploying the WAR File in WebLogic Portal.
  7. Create Oracle BPM portlets. See Creating a New Portal.
  8. Create the Login portlet. See Importing the Login Portlet.
  9. Verify your installation. See Verifying your Installation.
