Managing operating environments

You can manage your IBM® Business Process Manager on Cloud environments. You can retrieve and view log files, create a data source to securely connect to relational databases, import certificates to securely connect to service providers, and manage applications.

Before you begin

To manage operating environments, you must have the Operator role.

Procedure

  1. Log in to IBM BPM on Cloud (https://www.bpm.ibmcloud.com).
  2. Click Admin > Operating Environment Management.
  3. Expand the environment, or environments, that you want to work in.

    Depending on the environment, the following options are available:

    Table 1. Options for managing the operating environment
    Option Description Environment
    Log Retrieval Retrieve logs from specific clusters and specific times, view previously retrieved logs, or delete logs that you retrieved. Development, Test, Process Runtime
    Live Log Viewer You can view current log data, live, for the cluster you specify in the development environment and test environment. Click play (The Play icon that you click to specify the content to view.) to select the cluster to view and begin viewing the current log information. Development, Test
    Log Levels Control which events are processed by Java logging. Development, Test, Process Runtime
    Datasources Create or manage data sources to connect to an existing relational database. Development, Test, Process Runtime

    IBM BPM version 8570 cumulative fix 2016.09Applications Install and uninstall enterprise applications that you created in IBM Integration Designer. You can also update the current version of an application with an updated version. The installation uses default configuration options. If you need a customized configuration, such as mapping shared libraries or defining custom properties, contact the IBM BPM on Cloud operations team to complete the deployment.

    After you install an application, you can start and stop it, and see the number of process instances it has in the running, failed, finished, and terminated states. Because an application might have process instances in other states too, use Business Process Choreographer Explorer to see all the process instances belonging to the application.
