Installing, configuring, and migrating IBM Business Process Manager
IBM® Business Process Manager can be installed and configured for multiple topologies. You can install all components on a single server (known as a stand-alone configuration) using IBM BPM Server Express, or you can distribute the components across multiple systems (known as a network deployment configuration) using IBM BPM Server. To achieve a highly available environment with failover support, you can install IBM Business Process Manager into a clustered environment that uses the clustering mechanism of WebSphere® Application Server.
- Roadmap for installing and configuring IBM Business Process Manager
Each of the IBM Business Process Manager configurations (Server and Server Express®) has its own roadmap to guide you through installing and configuring that version of the software. - Interactive Installation and Configuration Guide
This guide takes you through the steps for installing and configuring IBM Business Process Manager (IBM BPM). - Planning for IBM Business Process Manager
To ensure that the system that you implement meets your needs, plan your IBM Business Process Manager before you introduce its software into your enterprise information system. - Swinging profiles between product installations
You can configure your environment to use a common set of profiles that you associate with multiple installations. Customers who provision many servers might use this method to keep their environments at equivalent service levels, especially for the underlying WebSphere environment and Java security patches. - Installing authoring environments, tools, and add-ons
After installing IBM Business Process Manager, you can install authoring environments as well as additional tools and add-ons. If you are installing IBM Business Process Manager Server, you can install IBM Integration Designer either before or after installing IBM Business Process Manager. - Starting your environment
After you install IBM Business Process Manager and configure a deployment environment, you can use the Quick Start console to start and stop the deployment environment, access the product documentation, or access the administrative consoles related to the deployment environment. - Verifying the status of your environment using the Health Center
After you have finished installing IBM Business Process Manager or at any time thereafter, you can use the Component Health Center in the administrative console to check the status of the configured components in your IBM BPM deployment environment. Examples of configured components include IBM Process Server, Process Center, and Performance Data Warehouse. - Verifying the status of your environment using the BPMConfig command
After you have finished installing IBM Business Process Manager or at any time thereafter, you can use the BPMConfig command-line utility to generate a status report for the configured components in your IBM BPM deployment environment. Examples of configured components include IBM Process Server, Process Center, and Performance Data Warehouse. - Using the BPMConfig command to export database information for performance analysis
You can use the BPMConfig command to export database information for performance analysis. The exported information is obtained from the databases for IBM Process Server and Performance Data Warehouse (PDW), which reside on machines in your deployment environment that are running DB2, Oracle, or SQL Server. The exported information includes a variety of statistics, such as statistics relating to database version, buffer pools, tables, and table spaces. - Using the BPMConfig command to export system data for performance analysis
You can use the BPMConfig command to export system data for performance analysis. The exported system data is obtained from all node machines and database machines that are running in a specified IBM BPM deployment environment. The exported data includes a variety of statistics, such as the operating system level, virtual memory statistics, CPU states, running processes, and storage input and output statistics. - Modifying and extending an existing installation
After you install and configure the runtime environment on your system in IBM Business Process Manager, you might want to customize your configuration. For example, you might want to customize settings, set up an additional security provider, set up user accounts, and change and encrypt passwords. - Installing IBM Business Process Manager on a single machine
You can install IBM Business Process Manager with Process Center, Process Designer, Integration Designer, Business Monitor, and a Process Server test environment on a single machine. You can install the advanced edition of IBM BPM on a single machine to evaluate the product or to work offline. - Backing up databases
After you have installed IBM Business Process Manager, create backup copies of the databases. - Migrating and upgrading your IBM BPM environment
Migrating refers to the process of moving applications and configuration information from an earlier version of a product to a later version of the product, or from one product to a different product. Upgrading refers to the process of installing a new release of the product on top of the previous release and updating the existing installation, configuration, and database in place. - Uninstalling IBM Business Process Manager
You can remove IBM Business Process Manager interactively or silently.
