Creating database tables and profiles simultaneously using the BPMConfig command

If you are running your databases on the same computer as your deployment environment, you can use the BPMConfig command to create a stand-alone profile and the database tables simultaneously.

Before you begin

If you have an existing WebSphere® Application Server profile that you want to augment, you must use the manageprofiles command-line utility instead.

Procedure

To create a stand-alone profile and the database tables at the same time, complete the following steps:

  1. Locate the appropriate sample properties file based on your environment in install_root\BPM\samples\config\express. For example, the sample configuration properties file for a Process Center environment using DB2 with IBM® BPM Express is called Express-PC-Standalone-DB2.properties.
  2. Modify your version of the properties file so that the values correspond to your own configuration. When you save your file, ensure that it uses UTF-8 encoding. For information about the available properties, read the comments in the sample files, or see the BPMConfig command-line utility and the examples. To have the database tables created at the same time as the profile is created, ensure that the setting for bpm.de.deferSchemaCreation is set to false.
  3. Run the BPMConfig command, passing it the name of the properties file that you created.
    install_root\bin\BPMConfig -create -de my_environment.properties

    The new stand-alone profile, database tables, and deployment environment are created based on the settings in your properties file.

What to do next

Proceed to the Quick Start console and start the server for the stand-alone profile you created.
