Configuring your environment with the IBM Business Automation Workflow Configuration editor
The IBM Business Automation Workflow Configuration editor is a browser-based interface for configuring your new deployment environment. You can graphically edit the configuration properties file that was exported from your source environment by the BPMConfig -export command. After you modify the properties file in the editor, you can use the BPMConfig -create command to create a new deployment environment that is based on the modified file.
Before you begin
The IBM Business Automation
Workflow
Configuration editor supports the following Linux products:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 or later
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.0 or later
About this task
The following image and corresponding table describe the parts of the
Configuration editor that you interact with when you configure your new deployment
environment.
Label | Part | Description |
---|---|---|
A | Topology | Edit the properties of all available components, such as cells, nodes, and deployment environments. Some properties were automatically modified during export and others require manual input. Components that are incorrectly configured are shaded gray. Properties that have missing or invalid values are surrounded with a red border and are flagged with a red exclamation mark icon. |
