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:
- 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 SQL Server with IBM® BPM Express is
called Express-PC-Standalone-SQLServer.properties.
- 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. However, if bpm.de.deferSchemaCreation is set
to false and you are working with an SQL Server database server that uses
Windows authentication (sqlServerWinAuth=true), you need to
manually run the bootstrapProcessServerData command.
- 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.
