Deploying a solution with IBM Business Automation Workflow

When you deploy a solution to a target object store, the items that are defined in the solution package are created in the target object store. For example, the document classes that you defined are created as document class instances.

Before you begin

Ensure that you exported the solution package from the development environment design object store and imported it to the staging object store.

Be sure to have your completed configuration checklist available.

Procedure

To deploy a solution:

  1. Start the Case administration client .
    Enter the following URL in a browser:
    http://server:port/navigator/?desktop=bawadmin
    server is the IBM Content Navigator IP address or fully qualified server name.
    port is the IBM Content Navigator port number.
  2. In the navigation tree in the left pane, select a design object store and click Solutions.
  3. On the Solutions page in the right pane, select the solution that you want to deploy.
  4. Click Actions > Deploy and complete the wizard steps.

    You can deploy a solution from either a development environment design object store or a production environment staging object store. If you deploy from a development environment design object store, the target environment name field is automatically populated by the wizard. If you deploy from a production environment staging object store, you must select the target environment name from the Target Environments list. This list contains the target environments in the production environment staging object store that have the same integration type as the solution.

    Tip: If you do not perform certain prerequisite steps, the solution deployment might succeed with warning messages. Review the deployment log to determine if additional actions are required.
  5. Optional: After the solution is deployed, assign users to the roles for this case:
    1. Click Assign Roles.
      The Case Client opens for you to assign users to the roles for this solution.
    2. Add users to the roles.
      Tip: You can add users later by using Case Client.
    3. Click View Log to download and view the solution deployment log.
