There are various scenarios in which you can use WebSphere Process Server.
The different scenarios affect how you install the product. Before you install,
you must review possible installation scenarios, ensure your system meets
all hardware and software requirements, and prepare your operating system
for installation. If you intend to use Business Process Choreographer, you
must also plan for its use.
The
following paths in this information center provide information on planning
for use of WebSphere Process Server:
- Planning installation topologies – Servers can be configured
in different topologies, and the installation procedure you use varies according
to the type of topology you select. To help you decide which installation
method is best for you, four common topologies are described, along with diagrams
and detailed steps to guide you through the installation procedure.
- Profiles –
WebSphere Process Server is built on WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment. These products utilize the concept
of profiles. Each profile defines a separate runtime environment, with
separate command files, configuration files, and log files.
- Using a heterogeneous cell to support mixed platforms within
a cell – With careful planning, you can create a deployment manager
cell that includes nodes on both distributed and z/OS(R) operating
system platforms.
- Hardware
and software requirements – You must ensure that your systems meet
the appropriate hardware and software requirements needed for installing WebSphere
Process Server.
- Preparing
the operating system for installation – You must install the necessary
prerequisites for your operating system before installing WebSphere Process
Server.
- Planning
to use Business Process Choreographer – Explore these topics for information
on configuring the business process container and the human task container,
which must be done before installing any enterprise applications that contain
business processes or human tasks.
