Process Federation Server requires a data store to store federated saved searches that are created in Process Portal. After you install Process Federation Server, you can configure which data store to store the saved searches by customizing the ibmPfs_federatedPersistence element in server.xml.

The data store can be one of the followings:

  • an index in the Elasticsearch or Opensearch referenced in the ibmPfs_remoteElasticsearch configuration element. The term Federated Data Repository index will be used for the rest of this document to indicate this index.
  • a relational database.

The option to store the saved searches in a relational database is deprecated. The Process Federation Server REST APIs can be used to migrate the saved search definitions from a relational database to a Federated Data Repository index.

About this task

You can configure the Process Federation Server data store. You can also migrate the saved search definitions from a relational database to a Federated Data Repository index.
