Configuring profiles, databases, and deployment environments for Oracle

Select which method to use to configure your profiles, databases, and network deployment environment. You can use either the BPMConfig command-line utility or multiple tools to complete the profile and deployment environment setup.
Note: The Oracle JVM is not required for IBM® Business Process Manager built-in functionality. You only need to configure it if your own applications require the Oracle JVM feature.

About this task

When configuring databases, the system default tablespaces are used. However, if you want to use scripts that create custom tablespaces for the Business Process Choreographer and the Business Space components, see the usetablespaces property as described in the "Topology" section of Configuration properties for the BPMConfig command.

You can run one of the following commands:
  • run BPMConfig -create -sqlfiles properties_file_name -outputDir output_directory
  • run BPMConfig -create -de properties_file_name when bpm.de.deferSchemaCreation is set to true.
The generated SQL files can be found in the output directory that you specified or in profile_root/dbscripts. The files include additional createTablespace*.sql files that you must run before the createSchema*.sql files to create the tablespaces for Business Process Choreographer or Business Space. The generated createSchema*.sql files include the appropriate references to the tablespaces that you specified.
  • Creating profiles, deployment environments, and databases simultaneously using the BPMConfig command
    Use the BPMConfig command to create profiles and deployment environments. During this process, database scripts are generated, which you must run to create the tables for the databases.
  • Configuring your environment with the IBM BPM Configuration editor
    The IBM BPM Configuration editor is a browser-based interface for configuring your new deployment environment. You can graphically edit the configuration properties file that was exported from your source environment by the BPMConfig -export command. After you modify the properties file in the editor, you can use the BPMConfig -create command to create a new deployment environment that is based on the modified file.
  • Configuring the profiles and network deployment environment using multiple tools
    You can use multiple tools to configure the profiles and the network deployment environment. You can use the manageprofiles command-line utility or the Profile Management Tool to create or augment the network deployment profiles, and the Deployment Environment wizard to create the network deployment environment. If you want to create the deployment manager and managed-node profiles separately from creating the deployment environment, you can use the BPMConfig command.
