Configuring Business Process Choreographer

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

  1. 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.
  2. Perform one of the following steps:
  3. Optional: If you want to run enterprise applications that include human tasks, perform the following steps:
  4. Activate Business Process Choreographer: Perform Activating Business Process Choreographer.
  5. Optional: Verify that Business Process Choreographer works: Perform Verifying that Business Process Choreographer works

Result

Business Process Choreographer is configured and working.

What to do next

Now you can run enterprise applications that contain business processes or human tasks, or both.
