 | Installing the accelerators
This tutorial assumes that you have basic knowledge of Business
Modeler, and that you have some experience creating business process
models. You should also be familiar with the basic model elements such
as gateways, tasks, subprocesses, and start and terminate events from
the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) as available in Business
Modeler. The online help in Business Modeler provides you with the
necessary background.
To repeat the steps in this tutorial, you need:
- IBM WebSphere Business Modeler V6.2.0.1 (you must apply Fixpack 1
to Business Modeler V6.2.0).
- The accelerators
(download
the accelerators).
- The example modeling project HiringExample.mar (this file is
included with the accelerators).
Download the accelerator.zip file to your computer. Unzip the file to a
directory, for example, C:\temp\acceleratorUpdatesite. The file
contains a local Eclipse update site. By using an update site, you can
properly manage the configuration of your Business Modeler
installation.
To install the accelerators in Business Modeler V6.2, perform the
following steps:
- Start WebSphere Business Modeler Basic or Advanced.
- Select Help > Software Updates …
- Click on the Available Software tab (Figure 1).

Figure 3. Choosing
Business Modeler extensions
- Eclipse calculates requirements and dependencies. You should see
an Install window opening. If you encounter problems, verify that
you have Business Modeler V6.2 with Fixpack 1 installed.

Accept the terms in the license agreements, click Next
again, then click Finish. When prompted for verification,
click on Install All. The accelerators will be added to
your installation of Business Modeler.
