Creating deployment environment using Deployment Environment Wizard

Creating deployment environment using Deployment Environment Wizard

Deployment environment wizard is the interactive approach to create deployment environment for BPM

Following pages detail the procedure in making use of this wizard

Make sure the following pre-requisites are met

IBM BPM product installed with process server feature Deployment manager profile and nodes (minimum 1) created Required databases for process server created

Start the deployment manager and nodes

Login to deployment manager console and navigate to

Servers > Deployment Environments

Click on New button (adjacent to Start, Stop)

enter value for the following fields deployment environment name deployment environment administrator user name and password, deployment environment type and pattern as shown below and click next to proceed further

choose the existing node as shown below and proceed with Next

One cluster member added to this node as shown below and proceed further with Next

Cluster name, member name  got populated based on the deployment environment name; accept the default and proceed with next (starting port can be specified if needed)

Enter  the environment name and choose the environment type from drop down box Select check box to specifiy this server will be offline

Enter database information

Use test connection to validate Test connection failed with following errors, this can be safely ignored if create Tables check box is not selected

Execute the below commands at DB2 host on DB2 interactive mode CONNECT TO CMNDBPS UPDATE DB CFG FOR CMNDBPS USING LOGFILSIZ 16384 DEFERRED CONNECT RESET CONNECT TO BPMDBPS UPDATE DB CFG FOR BPMDBPS USING LOGFILSIZ 16384 DEFERRED CONNECT RESET CONNECT TO PDWDBPS UPDATE DB CFG FOR PDWDBPS USING LOGFILSIZ 16384 DEFERRED CONNECT RESET

Retry Test connection

Uncheck the check box against create tables before proceed with Next button Summary page displays the deployment environment properties

Click on export for scripts to download the configuration file of the deployment environment

Click on Generate Deployment environment button

Deployment environment created

Click on deployemnt environment to complete the deferred configuration

There two deferred configuration need to be actioned before starting the deployment environment executing generated DB2 sql statements to create schema and procedures loading the database with data (bootstrap)

Transfer the db scripts to database host Note: There will be two set of db scripts for common database; one at cell level and one at deployment environment level

Tabulated below is the list of scripts to be run

Database Script to run CMNDBPS (Cell Scope) createSchema_Advanced.sql CMNDBPS (Deployment Environment Scope) createSchema_Advanced.sql createSchema_Messaging.sql BPMDBPS createSchema_Advanced.sql createProcedure_Advanced.sql PDWDBPS createSchema_Advanced.sql

Screen shot shows the script execution Cell scope – common database

Deployment environment scope – common database

Deployment environment scope – Process Server Database

Deployment environment scope – Performance ware house Database

Bootstrap process server data as shown below on Process Server host

Navigate to deferred configuration page and click on configuration done button to confirm the deferred configuration completion

Sync the configuration

Start the deployment environment

Deployment environment started

Validate the deployment environment using BPMConfig command line utility with option –validate

The above command will create html output in bin directory of BPM installation

Open the validation report in browser, it's detailed report covers everything as shown below
