Deploying and configuring the Business Leader feature

You must deploy and configure widgets for the WebSphere® Business Modeler Publishing Server V6.2 Feature Pack before you and others on your team can begin using them in Business Space powered by WebSphere.

Before you begin
Before you deploy widgets, you must complete the following steps:
About this task
After installing the feature pack you must install the widgets and add them to a page in Business Space. To do so, perform the following steps.
  1. Log on to the system on which your WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server database is located.
  2. Create Business Leader tables in your WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server database .
    Option Description
    The WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server database and Feature pack reside on the same system. Run the configPubServerDB.ant script to create Business Leader tables in your database.

    The script is located in install_root/scripts.wpbs/database/PublishingServer directory, where install_root is the installation root of your WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server installation.

    There are four required parameters:
    dbType
    the type of database that you are employing
    dbName
    the name of the database
    dbUserId
    a user name for an administrator of this database
    dbPassword
    the associated password
    For example:
    D:\IBM\WebSphere\PubServer\bin\ws_ant.bat -buildfile configPubServerDB.ant -DdbType=DB2 -DdbName=PUBSERV -DdbUserId=db2admin -DdbPassword=db2admin
    A log file, configPubServerDB.log, is created when the script runs. Examine this file for reports of any errors.
    The WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server database and Feature pack reside on different systems.
    Copy the following scripts, that were delivered as part of the feature pack to the system which hosts the WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server database:
    • create_db_bl.sql
    • add_index_bl.sql
    • populateTable_bl.sql
    • drop_db_bl.sql
    • drop_index_bl.sql
    For a DB2® database, issue the following DB2 commands:
    • db2 connect to dbName
    • db2 -tvf create_db_bl.sql
    • db2 -tvf add_index_bl.sql
    • db2 -tvf populateTable_bl.sql
    For a Oracle database issue the following commands:
    • sqlplus dbUserId}/dbPassword@dbName @directoryPath/create_db_bl.sql
    • sqlplus dbUserId/dbPassword@dbName @directoryPath/add_index_bl.sql
    • sqlplus dbUserId/dbPassword@dbName@directoryPath/populateTable_bl.sql
  3. Run the configBusinessLeader.ant script to deploy the Business Leader EAR files and configure Business Space.

    The script is located in the install_root\BusinessSpace\BusinessLeader directory.

    There is one required parameter:
    profileName
    The name of the profile for which the Business Space configuration will be updated.
    Note: For a stand-alone server you only need to run this script once. On a distributed environment, you must run the script on both the deployment manager and all managed nodes where Business Space is deployed. For a distributed environment you will need to have an administrator edit the busLeaderEndpoints.xml to update endpoint locations.
    For example:
    D:\IBM\WebSphere\PubServer\bin\ws_ant.bat -buildfile configBusinessLeader.ant -DprofileName=PubSrv01

    A log file, configBusinessLeader.log, is created in the current working directory when the script runs. Examine this file for reports of any errors.

    The First Steps console is launched. Use the console to restart the server.
