Configuring Process Federation Server and federated environments

You can configure certain aspects of the Process Federation Server behavior and how Process Federation Server interacts with IBM® BPM systems in federated environments.

  • Roadmap for configuring Process Federation Server and federated environments
    Federated environments accommodate various configuration scenarios. This roadmap guides you through the most common paths for configuring Process Federation Server and federated environments and helps you ensure that the federated environment is secure.
  • The Process Federation Server server.xml configuration file
    You can edit and update the template server.xml file to meet the requirements of your environment. In this file, you can configure your federated systems, configure a common user registry, single sign-on, the Elasticsearch service, the Liberty HTTP server, secure communications, or enable specific features.
  • Configuring and maintaining federated environments
    Federated environments consist of a process federation server and multiple IBM BPM systems. You can configure certain aspects of how Process Federation Server interacts with the federated IBM BPM systems in federated environments.
  • Federating IBM BPM systems
    To include an IBM BPM system in a federated environment, you must configure both the IBM BPM system and Process Federation Server.
  • Configuring Process Portal for a federated environment
    You can run Process Portal in both single IBM BPM systems or in federated IBM BPM environments based on Process Federation Server. For federated environments, you need to configure certain aspects of the environment for Process Portal to work correctly. No additional configuration is required for a single system.
  • Securing communications in federated environments
    Communication in federated environments is secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The SSL protocol provides transport layer security that includes authenticity, data signing, and data encryption to ensure that the connection between the client and the server is secure.
  • Enabling the quick start mode
    IBM Process Federation Server provides a quick start mode that allows you to partially index tasks in the ElasticSearch cluster based on a past date criteria.
  • Validating the Process Federation Server and federated environment configuration
    There are many aspects to configuring a federated environment. To help ensure that your environment is configured correctly, use the validation tool that is provided with Process Federation Server to check your settings.
