Business process container settings

Use this page to manage business process containers.

A business process container provides services to run business processes within an application server. To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Business Process Container.

Note: You cannot change these fields after they have been applied. If you want to change any of these values after the container is configured, you must uninstall the appropriate BPEContainer application and reinstall it. This action can result in the loss of data such as pending messages in queues, process templates, and process instances in the process choreographer database.

Configuration tab

Datasource
The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name of the data source, which stores the process data.
Data type String
Default jdbc/BPEDB
Security Role For Process Administrator
The user or group from the domain user registry that is to map onto the role of Business Process Administrator.
Data type String
Default ProcessAdministrator
Restrictions The user registry can be the local operating system, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), or custom registry. The user or group specified must already exist in the user registry that is used.
Listener Port For Internal Messages
This listener port provides the settings for the message-driven bean that handles messages exchanged within process choreographer processes.
Data type String
Default BPEInternalListenerPort
Listener Port For External Requests
This listener port provides the settings for the message-driven bean that handles requests from process choreographer JMS API clients.
Data type String
Default BPEApiListenerPort
Listener Port For Unprocessed Messages
This listener port provides the settings for the queue that contains the messages that cannot be processed.
Data type String
Default BPEHoldListenerPort
Retry Limit
Specifies the maximum number of retries for processing a message. When the limit is reached, the message is sent to the Listener Port for Unprocessed Messages.
Data type Integer
Default 5
Range 2 to 10 (recommended)
Retention Queue
The queue that contains messages that temporarily cannot be processed.
Data type String
Default jms/BPERetQueue
Retention Queue Factory
The factory for the retention queue.
Data type String
Default jms/BPECF
Retention Queue Message Limit
The maximum number of messages that can be stored in the retention queue. When the limit is reached, the messages are sent to the Queue for internal messages again and the process container switches into the quiesce mode.
Data type Integer
Default 20
JMS API User ID
The user ID that the process choreographer message-driven bean uses when processing asynchronous API calls. This ID is only required when WebSphere security is enabled (even if you do not use the Java Message Service API).
Mandatory If WebSphere security is enabled (even if you do not use the JMS API).
Data type String
Description If you do not use the JMS API, you must specify a valid user ID. This ID does not need any special authorizations.

If you will use the JMS API, this user ID must either be given the appropriate authorities when the process is modeled, or more commonly, it must be a member of a group that has the necessary authorizations. The possible staff authorities associated with processes are: Administrator, Reader, and Starter. A user ID can only perform a sendEvent action if it is a potential owner of the associated receiveEvent activity.

If you want to support all actions on processes through the JMS API, you can specify a user ID that is a member of the J2EE BPESystemAdministrator role. However, in a production system, the more fine-grained security approach is recommended.

JMS API Password
The password for the JMS API user ID.
Data type String
Scheduler Calendar
The JNDI name of the user calendar scheduler for the process container to use.
Data type String
Default
com/ibm/Websphere/scheduler/calendar/
DefaultUserCalendar
