IBM® Business Process Manager includes components that require database tables and specific names of the databases where the tables are stored.
Use the information in this section to familiarize yourself with IBM Business Process Manager components that your database administrator must manage, configure, and administer.
Server component | Database (default name) | Notes |
---|---|---|
Process Server |
BPMDB |
The Process Server tables are used to hold, store, and track the data for the process application repository. |
Performance Data Warehouse |
PDWDB |
|
Application scheduler |
CMNDB (the common database) |
You must create the common database before you start IBM Business Process Manager. You must configure the CMNDB tables either during the startup of the deployment manager or stand-alone server or before you start the deployment manager or stand-alone server. |
Business Process Choreographer |
BPEDB |
You must create the BPEDB before you start a server or cluster with Business Process Choreographer configured. |
Business Process Choreographer Explorer reporting function |
OBSRVDB |
The Business Process Choreographer Explorer reporting functionality is deprecated. To monitor and report on BPEL processes, use IBM Business Monitor . |
Business Space |
CMNDB (the common database) |
For stand-alone profiles, you must create the common database before you start IBM Business Process Manager. For other profiles, you must use the administrative console to configure Business Space. Configuring a Business Space database is mandatory for using Business Space powered by WebSphere®, which provides a common interface for application users to create, manage, and integrate web interfaces across a range of IBM products. |
Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) |
EVENT (stores events) |
CEI database configuration is not supported by the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofile command-line utility. Do not create this database for production environments because the performance of persisting events may be impacted. The Common Base Event browser relies on the CEI database. If you want to use the Common Base Event browser to retrieve and view logging, tracing, management, and business events in your business enterprise applications, you must create the CEI database manually. |
Enterprise service bus |
CMNDB (the common database) | You must configure these tables either during startup of the deployment manager or stand-alone server or before you start the deployment manager or stand-alone server |
Mediation |
CMNDB (the common database) |
You must create the common database before you start IBM Business Process Manager. You must configure the CMNDB tables either during the startup of the deployment manager or stand-alone server or before you start the deployment manager or stand-alone server. |
Recovery |
CMNDB (the common database) |
You must create the common database before you start IBM Business Process Manager. You must configure the CMNDB tables either during the startup of the deployment manager or stand-alone server or before you start the deployment manager or stand-alone server. |
Relationships |
CMNDB (the common database) |
You must create the common database before you start IBM Business Process Manager. You must configure the CMNDB tables before or during the startup of the deployment manager or stand-alone server. |
Selectors and business rules |
CMNDB (the common database)/Repository DB |
You must create the common database before you start IBM Business Process Manager. You must configure the CMNDB tables before or during the startup of the deployment manager or stand-alone server. |
SIBus |
User created |
You must configure these tables during the startup of the messaging engine or before you start the messaging engine. You can use a file store with SIBus in a stand-alone environment during profile creation. However, you cannot use a file store with SIBus in a network deployment environment. |
