Verifying Business Automation Workflow Authoring

Verify your installation and then log in to the web applications to get started.

Procedure

  1. Wait for about 45 minutes, depending on your computer's performance. Then, check the status of the pods. Get the names of the pods that were deployed by running the following command:
    oc get pod -n my_project
    The following is an example of a successful pod status that is deployed with small size. The pods are all running or completed, depending on their type.

  2. Get the URLs and log in to Business Automation Studio, Process Portal, Case Client, and Workplace.
    To get the URL of the web applications and the user credentials to log in, access the Config Maps from the OpenShift web console.
    1. Log in to your cluster web console.
    2. Select your namespace.
    3. In the left panel, select Workloads > Config Maps.
    4. Find cp4ba-access-info. You can get IBM Cloud Pak® dashboard information from bastudio-access-info.
    5. Access Business Automation Studio, Process Portal, Case Client, and Workplace by using the URLs in bastudio-access-info.
  3. Check the status and endpoints for IBM Business Automation Workflow from the OpenShift console or from the command line.
    • Check the status and endpoints from the OpenShift console.
      1. In the left menu, select Operators > Installed Operators.
      2. On the top of the right window, select your project (namespace).
      3. Click the installed operator for IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation.
      4. Go to the CP4BA deployment tab page.
      5. Click your deployment (for example, icp4adeploy).
      6. Go to the YAML tab page.
      7. Find the top level status: element, then check every component's status. In the following example, the capabilities may vary based on your selection:
        status:
          components:
            ...
            bastudio:
              adminSecret: icp4adeploy-bas-admin-secret
              capabilities:
                - workflow
                - content-integration
                - workstreams
                - case
                - bai
                - baml
                - pfs
              reconcile: Running
              service: Ready    
            baml:
              bamlDeployFailedMsg: deploying is under good status
              bamlDeployStatus: Ready
              bamlServiceStatus: Ready
      8. Under status: search for endpoints, then check the endpoints. For example:
