Configuring IBM Business Automation Workflow Case features from the command line
You must configure IBM Business Automation Workflow Case features before you can use it in production. Configuring your system prepares the Case Builder application and the Case Client application for deployment on the application server. After you deploy these applications, you can create, test, manage, deploy, and work with your business solutions.
About this task
Your case management system consists of a development environment for creating and testing case management solutions and a production environment for working with running case management solutions. You must configure both environments.
Configuring the development environment includes configuring Case Builder and Case Client. Configuring the production environment includes configuring Case Client.
You use the BPMConfig tool to create a profile for each development environment instance and a profile for each production environment instance. The information for a profile is collected in XML files in the form of properties and values that describe the associated configuration and deployment tasks. Three XML files contain the information that is common to all tasks in the profile, and each configuration task in the profile has one configuration XML file. You must provide values for the profile properties that are specific to each configuration at your site, such as the application server name.
The XML files are stored in a directory that is unique to a profile. Because the profile name is used for the directory name and for the configuration profile file name, you must provide a profile name that is a valid directory name for your operating system. By default, the profiles are stored in the install_root/CaseManagement/configure/profiles directory where install_root is the location where IBM Business Automation Workflow is installed.
