Completing post-installation tasks for Workflow Process Service Authoring

You must complete post-installation tasks before you can run IBM Workflow Process Service Authoring.

Procedure

  1. Complete the steps in Completing post-installation tasks for Business Automation Studio.
  2. Verify your installation and then log in to the web applications to get started.
    1. Wait for the installation to complete. The installation might take around 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 <project_name>
      The following is an example of a successful pod status deployed with a small profile. The pods are all running or completed, depending on the type of pod.

      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 by using the URL in bastudio-access-info.
  3. To customize Workflow Process Service Authoring, see Customizing Business Automation Studio properties.
  4. If you already installed Workflow Process Service Runtime, you can configure it to work with Workflow Process Service Authoring. For more details see Optional: Configuring Workflow Process Service Runtime to work with Workflow Process Service Authoring.
  5. Optional: If you want to include the data collector and data indexer, add pfs to the spec.shared_configuration.sc_optional_components section of your custom resource.
  6. Optional: If you want to use an external Elasticsearch, configure it under the workflow_authoring_configuration section of your custom resource. For more information about the Elasticsearch parameters, see External Elasticsearch configuration parameters.

What to do next

If Workflow Process Service Authoring is in its own namespace, you can see the authoring server's tasks in the embedded Workplace.

If you deployed the application pattern together with Workflow Process Service Authoring, you can also see the authoring server's tasks in the Workplace in IBM Business Automation Navigator.
