Use this task to configure the Business Process Choreographer containers
for business processes and for human tasks, and the Business Process Choreographer
Explorer.
Why and when to perform this task
Business Process Choreographer supports enterprise applications that
include business processes and human tasks. It provides containers for business
processes and for human tasks. These containers must be installed and configured
before being used. The human task container requires the business process
container and the staff service.
Business Process Choreographer
Explorer (the Web client) is optional. Before you run Business process Choreographer
Explorer, you must configure Business Flow Manager (BFM) and Human Task Manager
(HTM).
Steps for this task
- If you selected the Business Process Choreographer sample configuration
option when you installed WebSphere Process Server, the business process container,
human task container, and Business Process Choreographer Explorer are already
configured. You can check if they are configured, by looking in the administrative
console for enterprise applications with names that start with BPEContainer, BPCExplorer,
and TaskContainer. The sample configuration uses
a Cloudscape database and the WebSphere default messaging provider. This sample
configuration is not suitable for a production system. Before you can continue
configuring Business Process Choreographer to use WebSphere MQ or a different
database, you must remove the sample configuration, as described in Removing the Business Process Choreographer configuration.

or human tasks, or both.
