Supporting WebSphere Process Server applications and bus members

A cluster or server can be configured to both host WebSphere Process Server applications and support WebSphere Process Server applications that are installed on remote clusters or servers. In this configuration scenario, the application buses are configured for the current cluster or server. In addition, the SchedulerCalendar application is automatically installed to provide support for hosting WebSphere Process Server applications. In this scenario, the destinations for the applications can be hosted on the same cluster or server as the applications themselves or on a remote location. This topic describes how to set up the server or cluster to host the destinations.

Before you begin

You must be logged in as administrator or configurator to perform the following tasks.

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. Clear the Do not configure to host SCA applications option.
  5. 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.
    Configuring a cluster
    1. Click Default Destination Location.
    2. Use the JDBC Provider menu to specify the appropriate JDBC provider template.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    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.
