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
- 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.
- 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®
- DB2 for z/OS®
- Informix® Dynamic
Server
- Microsoft® SQL
Server
- Oracle
Note: The Business Process Choreographer Observer requires a database
that is either Cloudscape, DB2 or Oracle.
- 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.
- Decide which Java™ Message Service (JMS) provider you
will use:
- WebSphere default
messaging
- WebSphere MQ
- Plan the settings that are described in Business process container installation wizard settings.
- 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.
