Supporting WebSphere Process Server applications deployed on another server or cluster

A cluster or server can be configured to support WebSphere Process Server service applications that have been deployed to another cluster or server. This is the default configuration scenario.

Before you begin

You must be logged in as administrator or configurator.

Why and when to perform this task

In this scenario, the cluster or server does not host WebSphere Process Server applications. However, it can host the business rules manager and JMS queues (destinations) used by applications running on remote servers or clusters. The JMS destinations are hosted in the messaging engines that execute in the server or cluster. One messaging engine is created by default when the Advanced Configuration page is used to add the server or cluster as a member of each system integration bus.

Steps for this task

  1. From within the administrative console, click one of the following, depending on your scope:
    • To configure a server: Servers > Application Servers > server_name> Advanced Configuration
    • To configure a cluster: Servers > Clusters > cluster_name> Advanced Configuration
  2. If you want to install the business rules manager on this server or cluster, click Install Business Rules Manager.
  3. Verify the value in the Emitter Factory Profile JNDI Name field.
    • If you want to change the default configuration for routing emitted events, select the appropriate emitter factory profile JNDI name from the field. Note that all applications deployed to the server or cluster use the same emitter factory profile.
    • If you want to use the default emitter factory profile, select None from the menu.
  4. Ensure the Do not configure to host SCA applications option is selected.
  5. If the server or cluster is going to host destinations for the applications, perform one of the following tasks:
    Resource being configured Steps to perform
    Configuring a server
    1. Click Default Destination Location.
    2. If you want to have the SI Bus service automatically create the data sources and databases using Cloudscape, click the Use default datasource values check box and proceed to Step 6.
    3. If you want to create a new data source and database, use the JDBC Provider menu to specify the appropriate JDBC provider template.
    4. Optionally, in the Application bus schema name field, type the name of the database schema used to contain the tables for the application bus data source.
    5. Optionally, in the System bus schema name field, type the name of the database schema used to contain the tables for the system bus data source.
    6. In the Data source user name field, type the user name you are using to access the database.
    7. In the Data source password field, type the password associated with the user name.
    8. In the Application Bus Datasource Properties field, enter the custom properties required by the data source used by the SCA Application Bus.
    9. In the System Bus Datasource Properties field, enter the custom properties required by the data source used by the SCA System Bus.
    10. If you want the messaging engine to create the database tables for the data source, select Create tables. The tables are created when the server hosting the messaging engine is started.

    5. In the Data source user name field, type the user name you are using to access the database.
    6. In the Data source password field, type the password associated with the user name.
    7. In the Application Bus Datasource Properties field, enter the custom properties required by the data source used by the SCA Application Bus.
    8. In the System Bus Datasource Properties field, enter the custom properties required by the data source used by the SCA System Bus.
    9. If you want the messaging engine to create the database tables for the data source, select Create tables. The tables are created when the server hosting the messaging engine is started.
  6. Click OK.
