Installing Oracle BPM Deployer

The Oracle BPM Deployer is a J2EE application that simplifies the procedures for deploying, starting, and stopping the Oracle BPM web applications using J2EE.
The Oracle BPM Deployer acts as a bridge between the web application server and the Oracle BPM Process Administrator. Using the Oracle BPM deployer you can use the Process Administrator to control your web applications without using the administration console of your application server.
Note: The Oracle BPM Deployer is only supported on a signle-node configuration for IBM WebSphere. If you are configuring Oracle BPM to run in a clustered environment, you can skip this section.
  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 Oracle BPM Deployer EAR file.

    The Oracle BPM Deployer consists of an EAR file provided with the installation of Oracle BPM Enterprise. It is located under the following directory: <ORABPM_HOME>/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 Oracle BPM Deployer. On a single-server setup, you must install it on the only server available.
    Restriction: On a clustered WebSphere environment, Oracle BPM 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 Oracle BPM 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 Oracle BPM WebSphere Deployer is now installed and ready.
