Adding the Basic Case Management feature to IBM Business Process Manager

The Basic Case Management feature provides capabilities that enable knowledge workers to drive business outcomes by using a combination of structured workflows, ad-hoc tasks, and document processing. If you did not install the Basic Case Management feature when you initially installed IBM® Business Process Manager, you can add it later by following these steps.

Before you begin

Install and configure IBM Business Process Manager. You must have licenses for IBM BPM Advanced and the Basic Case Management feature.

Procedure

  1. Stop any running process applications and the environment. See Starting and stopping your environment.
  2. Start the IBM Installation Manager instance that you used to install IBM BPM.
  3. If you have only IBM BPM Standard installed, modify your IBM BPM Standard installation to IBM BPM Advanced by following the instructions in Upgrading a product installation from IBM BPM Standard to IBM BPM Advanced.
    Tip: Although you must update to an IBM BPM Advanced installation, you do not need to update your existing deployment environments. Even though the Basic Case Management license is tied to an IBM BPM Advanced installation, case management is supported in a Standard deployment environment.
  4. Click Modify to change the installed package. Install case management on the deployment manager and each managed node.
  5. Select the IBM Business Process Manager package group. Click Next.
  6. On the Translations page, click Next.
  7. In the Features list, select the Basic Case Management License feature. Click Next.
  8. Review the summary information and click Modify to install the feature.
  9. When the installation completes, start the environment. See Starting and stopping your environment.
