[Version 5.0.2 and later]Starting the process choreographer Web client

Before you begin

With most types of installations, the process choreographer Web client is already installed on your system. Before you can start the process choreographer Web client, you must complete the following prerequisite steps:
  1. Configure the business process container. This step enables the process choreographer service and the process choreographer Web client. Depending on the type of installation you perform, your business process container might already be configured.

    To check whether you have a business process container configured on your server, click Applications > Enterprise Applications in the navigation bar of the administrative console. Your process container is available if the list of enterprise applications contains an application named BPEContainer_identifier. The Web client is already installed if an application named BPEWebClient_identifier appears in the list of applications. The identifier for both the business process container and the Web client depends on where you installed the business process container.

    Business process container installed on: BPEContainer_identifier
    Application server BPEContainer_nodeName_serverName
    Cluster BPEContainer_clusterName


    If a business process container is not available, you must configure one on your server before you can proceed.

  2. Configure the WebSphere Application Server security environment for secured applications, including assigning users and groups to roles defined in business process applications and configuring authentication mechanisms. For more information about configuring the WebSphere Application Server security environment for secured applications, see managing security.
  3. Deploy the applications that use the business processes. These can be V5.0-style business processes or processes based on the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL).

Why and when to perform this task

If you want to work with business process applications on several application servers at the same time, you need to start a process choreographer Web client for each application server.

[Version 5.0.2]If you are not working in a Network Deployment environment, a Web client is installed automatically on each server that has a business process container installed. In a Network Deployment environment, however, you have to install and configure the Web client manually.

To start the process choreographer Web client, complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Use a Web browser to open the following Web page:
    http://app_server_host:port_no/bpe/webclient
    app_server_host
    The network name for the host of the application server that provides the business process application with which you want to work.
    port_no
    The port number used by the Web client. The port number depends on your configuration.
    The Web client prompts you for a user ID and password.
  2. Type a user ID and password then click OK.

Results

This task displays the initial page of the process choreographer Web client, which shows the work items in your To Do list.
