Build and Deploy Applications (.ear)

The Oracle BPM Process Administrator allows you to bundle the Oracle BPM applications as .ear files for installation on WebLogic.

Before creating the Oracle BPM application archives, you must have an Oracle BPM Engine for WebLogic configured.

Login to Oracle BPM Process Administrator. By default, it runs on http://host:8686/webconsole.
Click on Engines and then click on the name of your Oracle BPM Engine for WebLogic. You should see the configuration properties for your Engine.
Click on the Basic Configuration tab and then on J2EE Application Server Files.
This page allows you to re-create the .ear files of those Oracle BPM applications associated with this Engine.

Note: When you access this page, the Process Administrator gets the status of each of the applications by contacting Oracle BPM Deployer. You receive a warning message at the bottom of the page if there is a problem contacting Oracle BPM Deployer. If this is the case, make sure the BPM Application Deployer URL (within the Application Server tab) is correct and that Oracle BPM Deployer is up and running on WebLogic.
Click on the "new" icon () next to each of the applications you want to install.
Click on the "install" icon () next to each of the applications you want to install.
Attention: This may take several minutes. Do not click any link on the page or click the back button in your browser until the page is automatically reloaded. When you click on the icon, Oracle BPM Process Administrator transfers the file over to WebLogic's Deployment Manager (by means of Oracle BPM Deployer) and then WebLogic goes through the application installation process.
