Starting Business Process Archive Explorer

Business Process Archive Explorer is a web application that allows you to browse and delete process instances and task instances that have been moved to an archive database.

Before you begin

Before you can start using Business Process Archive Explorer from a web browser, you must have installed the Business Process Archive Manager, the Task Archive Manager and the Business Process Archive Explorer. The following applications must be running:

  • BPCArchiveExplorer_scope

About this task

To start Business Process Archive Explorer, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Direct your web browser to the Business Process Archive Explorer URL.
    The value of the URL depends on how the virtual host and context root were configured for your installation. The URL takes the following form.
    https://application_server_host:port_number/context_root
    Important: Any attempts to access the Business Process Archive Explorer using the HTTP protocol are redirected to use HTTPS.
    In addition, you can extend the URL to go directly to the details of a process or task.
    https://application_server_host:port_number/context_root?oid_type=oid
    Where:
    application_server_host
    The network name for the host of the Business Process Archive Explorer instance with which you want to work.
