Setting up the administrative architecture

After you install and set up WebSphere Process Server, you mainly need to monitor and control incorporated nodes and the resources on those nodes by using the administrative console.

You must complete the following tasks that are documented in the Setting up administrative architecture topic in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0.x information center including the additional steps to configure WebSphere Process Server that are noted below.

  1. Use the settings page for an administrative service to configure administrative services.

  2. Configure cells.

    Prerequisites:
    1. An instance of the database product must be installed.
    2. A WebSphere Process Server database must be created in that instance.
    3. Tables for that database must be set up. This can be done during installation with the Profile Wizard. Or, later, changes can be made for database configuration using DBUtility.bat and DBUtility.sh batch files that will automatically set up the tables for the supported database types. DBUtility.bat and DBUtility.sh are available in install_root\bin\ .
  3. Configure deployment managers.

    In additional to the steps in the Configure deployment managers topic in the WebSphere Network Deployment information center, WebSphere Process Server requires a variable of where the database is installed. On the administrative console, select Environment > WebSphere Variables > (the scope of node) > DatabaseName_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH. The following variables can be used:
    • For DB2: DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For Informix: INFORMIX_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For Oracle: ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For SQL Server: CONNECTJDBC_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For a user-defined database: User-defined _JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For Cloudscape: not supported for distributed environments

    For more information, see Configure variables.

  4. Manage nodes.

    In addition to the steps in the Manage nodes topic in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center, WebSphere Process Server requires a variable of where the database is installed. On the administrative console, select Environment > WebSphere Variables > (the scope of cell) > DatabaseName_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH. The following variables can be used:
    • For DB2: DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For Informix: INFORMIX_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For Oracle: ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For SQL Server: CONNECTJDBC_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For a user-defined database: User-defined _JDBC_DRIVER_PATH
    • For Cloudscape: not supported for distributed environments

    For more information, see Configure variables.

  5. Manage node agents according to the instructions in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
  6. Manage node groups according to the instructions in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
  7. Configure remote file services according to the instructions in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
