Using the bpeconfig.jacl script file to configure Business Process Choreographer

This sample script file configures all the resources that are required by Business Process Choreographer. It configures a working business process container, human task container, Business Process Choreographer Explorer, without using the installation wizard or administrative console. It can create a local database, and the necessary messaging resources.

Restrictions

This script cannot create a local database for DB2 for z/OS or for Oracle.

Purpose

Using this script configures a working business process container, and human task container without using the installation wizard or administrative console. It can create a local database, and the necessary messaging resources, and also configure the Business Process Choreographer Explorer. If the script is applied to an application server that is in a cluster, all servers in the cluster will be configured for using Business Process Choreographer.

This file is in the folder install_root/ProcessChoreographer/sample.

Runing the script in a stand-alone server environment

In a stand-alone server environment:
  • Include the -conntype NONE option only if the application server is not running.
  • If the server is running and global security is enabled, include the -username and -password options.
  • If you are not configuring the default profile, add the -profileName option.

Runing the script in an ND environment

In a Network Deployment environment:
  • Run the bpeconfig.jacl script on the deployment manager node.
  • Include the -conntype NONE option only if the deployment manager is not running.
  • If global security is enabled, include the -username and -password options.
  • If you are not configuring the default profile, add the -profileName option.

Running the configuration script interactively

This example, illustrates running the bpeconfig script to install and configure the business process container (that uses an existing DB2 database), a human task container, and a Business Process Choreographer Explorer.
  1. On the server, or for ND, on the deployment manager, start the script:
    • On UNIX® and Linux® systems, enter the command:
      install_root/bin/wsadmin.sh  
             -f install_root/ProcessChoreographer/sample/bpeconfig.jacl 
       ( [-username userName][-password password]|[-conntype NONE])
         [-profileName profileName]
    • On Windows® systems, enter the command:
      install_root\bin\wsadmin.bat

Controls whether the script creates a local WebSphere MQ queue manager. This options has an effect when the mqType option is set to "MQSeries". The default value for createQM is "yes". Use the value "no" if you do not want the script to create the WebSphere MQ queue manager, for example, if you want to create the queue manager on a different machine to the one where you are running the script.
