Configuring Directory DB

After installing Oracle BPM 10.3, you must run Oracle BPM Admin Center to create a new Directory configuration that will connect to your existing BPM 6.0 Directory database.
Before continuing, you must shutdown all existing BPM 6.0 applications and services, including:
The following procedures show you how to configure the Oracle BPM Directory.
  1. Start the Admin Center.
  2. Click Configuration and press the Add button from the Directory tab. The Configuration Wizard appears.
  3. Select Use existing Directory Service.
  4. Make sure options Create Process Engine and Publish and Deploy Sample Project are not selected.
  5. Press Next and select a provider type for your Oracle BPM Directory.

    You must select the same option used by your existing BPM 6.0 installation.

    Select Use an external directory service provider plus a database managed by Oracle BPM in the following cases:
    • You are upgrading a BPM environment integrated with AquaLogic Interaction.
    • You are upgrading a BPM environment that is using an external directory service (like Active Directory or Sun ONE LDAP).
  6. Press Next and enter the Directory information.

    Under Directory Provider select the JDBC driver corresponding to your existing Directory database. Enter the BPM Administrator User and BPM Administrator Password of your Directory.

    Note: This is not a new user and password. You must enter the Administrator user and password of your existing 6.0 Directory. If you are upgrading from an BPM with AquaLogic Interaction environment, BPM Administrator User must be an existing user in ALI within the Process Administrator Group. The user and password are case-sensitive.
    Important: If you are upgrading an AquaLogic BPM environment integrated with AquaLogic Interaction:
    1. Select Generic JNDI as you Organization Provider
    2. BPM Administrator User must be an existing user in ALI within the Process Administrator Group. The password of this user in ALI cannot be blank.
    3. The user and password are case-sensitive.
  7. Press Next and enter the database connectivity information to your existing Directory.

    This version of Oracle BPM comes with its own set of JDBC drivers.

    For advanced JDBC URL configurations refer to the custom properties of the JDBC driver:
  8. Enter your external LDAP directory service information if required.

    The wizard skips this step if you selected Use a database managed by Oracle BPM on the Directory Provider Type step.

    If your BPM environment is integrated with AquaLogic Interaction (ALI), you must specify the LDAP Directory Properties options as follows:

    1. Click Browse.
    2. Navigate to your <ORABPM_HOME>/conf/ directory.
    3. Select file generic_aluidirectory_upgrade.conf, and click Open.
  9. Press Next.
  10. Click on Save Template... if you want to save into an XML file all the values you entered in the Wizard.

    This XML can be used in the future to run the Wizard again using the same configuration values.

  11. Press Next and then Finish to complete your Directory configuration.

    After successfully running the Configuration Wizard, the newly created directory appears in the list of available directory configurations.

  12. To test connectivity to the Directory database highlight the new Directory configuration, press Edit... and then Check....

    A confirmation message appears. If you get an error message instead, revisit all connection properties and try again.

    1. Press OK to close the confirmation dialog.
    2. Press OK again to close the Edit Directory Configuration dialog.
  13. Press OK to close the Configuration dialog.
