WebSphere

Configuring Business Space using the command line

You can set up and configure Business Space powered by WebSphere® using the wsadmin command. You can use the wsadmin command to perform the same configuration of Business Space and the that you perform in the administrative console.

Before you begin

You must install the product software. When you install your product, Business Space files are included with the installation, and Business Space is configured with the profiles that you set up.

This topic applies to WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus only For WebSphere Process Server runtime environments that need the Managing Tasks and Workflows widgets, you must configure Business Process Choreographer. For more information, see "Configuring Business Process Choreographer" in the WebSphere Process Server documentation.

About this task

You can use the command line to configure Business Space if you want to write scripts instead of using the administrative console to configure Business Space.

If you are not sure whether Business Space is already configured, you can run the getBusinessSpaceDeployStatus command to check whether Business Space is configured on a server, node, cluster, or cell. For more information about that command, see "getBusinessSpaceDeployStatus command."

Procedure
  1. Open a command window.

    The wsadmin command can be found at either the profiles/deployment manager/bin directory, or the /bin directory.

  2. At the command prompt, type the wsadmin command to start the wsadmin environment.
  3. Use the installBusinessSpace command to install the Business Space enterprise archive (EAR) files in your runtime environment.
  4. Use the configureBusinessSpace command to configure the data source for Business Space and run the scripts that configure the database tables. For more information about the scripts, see "Configuring Business Space database tables."

Results

Configuring Business Space sets up a browser-based graphical user interface for the business users of your application that is running with the profile you set up. In Business Space, you and your application users can customize content from products in the WebSphere Business Process Management portfolio.

Example

The following example installs the EAR files and configures the data source for Business Space on a cluster. It designates the schema and the product database to use with Business Space when multiple products are installed. In a situation where both WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Monitor are installed, this example designates the WebSphere Process Server data source as the data source to use with Business Space.

wsadmin>$AdminTask installBusinessSpace {-clusterName myCluster}
wsadmin>$AdminTask configureBusinessSpace {-clusterName myCluster 
-schemaName myCluster -productTypeForDatasource WPS}

What to do next

To enable Business Space for your runtime environment, you must perform the following steps after configuring Business Space from the command line.
  • Update the endpoints for widgets to appear in Business Space. For WebSphere Process Server and Enterprise Service Bus, use the REST Service Endpoints page in the administrative console. For more information, see "Enabling Business Space widget REST service endpoints on the administrative console." For other products, edit the endpoints file. For more information, see "Enabling Business Space widgets manually for remote endpoints."
  • Set up security that you need to use with Business Space and the widgets your team is using. For more information, see "Setting up security for Business Space."
