Configuring a network deployment environment on Linux

For a network deployment configuration, you install the software and then create or augment a deployment manager, create or augment at least one custom profile, and configure the network deployment environment.

Installing IBM Business Process Manager Advanced
With custom installation, you can select interactive or silent installation. You must select interactive installation if you want to install on an existing WebSphere® Application Server.
Granting write permission of files and directories to nonroot users for profile creation or augmentation
If you are not the user who installed the product, you must have write permission to selected directories within the IBM Business Process Manager installation. The product installer can grant this permission or create a group with permission to create or augment profiles.
Creating databases and database design files
IBM Business Process Manager requires a Process Server database, Performance Data Warehouse database, and Common database. You must create the databases before network deployment.
Configuring the network deployment environment using the configureNode command
To configure a typical network deployment environment, you can use the configureNode command instead of using the Profile Management Tool and Deployment Environment wizard or the manageprofiles and wsadmin commands. This command provides limited customization by using a properties file, and creates a ready-to-use environment. You can also use configureNode later to extend the deployment environment.
Configuring profiles and creating a network deployment environment
After you install the product, you must create or augment a deployment manager and one or more custom profiles to define the runtime environment. Before starting the deployment manager, you must have configured the databases that are to be used with IBM Business Process Manager.
Loading the database with system information in a network deployment environment
If you are creating a network deployment environment, you must run the command before you try to start or use Process Server or Process Center.
Modifying an existing installation
After you install and configure the runtime environment on your system in IBM Business Process Manager, you might want to customize your configuration. For example, you might want to customize settings, set up an additional security provider, set up user accounts, and change and encrypt passwords.
