Changing the Business Flow Manager API endpoint

If you copy the Business Flow Manager API files from the WebSphere Process Server client CD, you must manually edit the default endpoint address.

Why and when to perform this task

Steps for this task

  1. Navigate to the directory containing the files copied from the client CD.
  2. Open the BFMWS.wsdl file in a text editor or XML editor.
  3. Locate the soap:address element (towards the bottom of the file).
  4. Modify the value of the location attribute with the HTTP URL of the server on which the Web service API is running. To do this:
    1. Optionally, replace http with https to use the more secure HTTPS protocol.
    2. Replace localhost with the host name or IP address of the Web services APIs server endpoint address.
    3. Replace 9080 with the port number of the application server.
    4. Replace BPEContainer_N1_server1 with the "context root" of the application running the Web services API. The default context root is composed of:
      • BPEContainer. The application name.
      • N1. The node name.
      • server1. The server name.
    5. Do not modify the fixed portion of the URL (/sca/com/ibm/bpe/api/BFMWS) .
    For example, if the application is running on the server s1.n1.ibm.com and the server is accepting SOAP/HTTP requests at port 9080, modify the <soap:address> element as follows:
    <soap:address location="http://si.n1.ibm.com:9080/
                       BPEContainer_N1_server1/sca/com/ibm/bpe/api/BFMWS"/>
