Planning to use Business Process Choreographer

Why and when to perform this task

For each application server or cluster that runs business processes or human tasks, you will have to configure the business process container and the human task container before installing any enterprise applications that contain business processes or human tasks.

Steps for this task

  1. If you intend to use Business Process Choreographer on a cluster plan your cluster. For more information, refer to Considerations for installing service applications on clusters.
  2. Decide which database system to use:
    • Cloudscape™; Because the version of Cloudscape Network Server that is distributed with this version of WebSphere® Process Server has no XA support, Business Process Choreographer can only use the embedded Cloudscape version that cannot be accessed remotely. This restriction is why Cloudscape cannot be used as database system for Business Process Choreographer in a distributed WebSphere environment.
    • DB2® UDB for Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows®
    • Informix® Dynamic Server
    • Microsoft® SQL Server
    • Oracle
  3. Decide which server you want to host the database. If the database server is remote, you need a suitable database client or a type-4 JDBC driver that has XA-support.
  4. Decide which Java™ Message Service (JMS) provider you will use:
    • WebSphere default messaging
    • WebSphere MQ
  5. Plan the settings that are described in Business process container installation wizard settings.
  6. Plan the settings that are described in Human task container installation wizard settings.

Result

After installing WebSphere Process Server, you are ready to perform Configuring Business Process Choreographer.
