Modifying runtime server configuration properties
In some cases, you might need to make changes to the IBM® Business Process Manager runtime configuration, such as modifying proxy settings, managing Enterprise Content Manager server settings, or modifying the Process Server connection properties. Configuration updates are made either in the 100Custom.xml file or by using the Process Admin Console, depending on the type of change required.
- Changing server settings in the Process Admin Console
You can edit the settings for process application snapshots for Enterprise Content Management, IBM Case Management, and IBM Operational Decision Manager by using the Servers page in the Process Admin Console. - The 100Custom.xml file and configuration
Some configuration settings in IBM Process Server or IBM Process Center are saved in a set of XML files. You can modify many of these settings for your server environment to, for example, modify the SMTP server address and tune the event manager. You update security configuration properties, database configuration properties, and URLs by using wsadmin commands. - Using wsadmin commands to customize the Process Server settings used to connect to Process Center
Using the WebSphere wsadmin command-line administration tool, you can run commands to update the server configuration that is used to connect a Process Server in your runtime environment to a different Process Center. You can also use wsadmin commands to connect an offline server or to modify other connection properties. Although a few settings are updated using authentication alias configuration, the rest of the properties can be updated using wsadmin commands. - Using the administrative console to customize the Process Server settings used to connect to Process Center
After you install and configure IBM Business Process Manager, you can use the Process Server Settings page in the administrative console to change the IBM Process Server settings that are used for connecting to the Process Center. - Modifying the IBM Process Server environment name
If you want to modify the environment name that was specified during initial configuration, update the configuration using the updateBPMConfig administrative command. - Modifying the IBM Process Server environment type
If you want to modify the environment type that was specified during initial configuration, update the configuration using the updateBPMConfig administrative command. The environment type indicates how IBM Business Process Manager is used (for example, in a development, test, staging or production environment). Process authors can set environment-specific variables for each process application and then define values for each type of environment in which a process runs. - Accessing an Enterprise Content Management server using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
You can set up your ECM server connection to use SSL for security protection. - Accessing an Enterprise Content Management server using single sign on (SSO)
If the same people use IBM Business Process Manager and Enterprise Content Management, you might be able to use single sign on to allow them to access both systems with a single log on ID.
