Configuring multiple deployment environments

You can isolate multiple deployment environments within a single cell in your IBM® Business Process Manager configuration.

See Considerations for multiple deployment environments in the same cell for things to consider prior to making changes to your deployment environment.

You must create unique HTTP endpoints for each deployment environment. Optionally, you can specify different security settings for each deployment environment by creating multiple security domains and attaching one security domain to each deployment environment.

Note: There is no security domain support for IBM BPM Advanced and AdvancedOnly deployment environments.

Only users that are assigned to the administrator role can configure multiple security domains. For more information on multiple security domains, see Multiple security domains in the WebSphere® Application Server information center.

To isolate administrative access, you can specify administrative authorization groups to grant administrative access only to the resources of a single deployment environment. Administrative authorization groups are described in the WebSphere Application Server information center at Fine-grained administrative security.

The following sections provide instructions for three different configuration scenarios that isolate multiple deployment environments within a single cell. Notice that each of these sections includes instructions for configuring dedicated virtual host aliases, which is a mandatory task. Choose the section that best describes your intended configuration scenario.
