Configuring the IBM BPM document store for DB2 on z/OS

This configuration adds support for the IBM® BPM document store for DB2 on z/OS. The IBM BPM document store is a CMIS-enabled embedded document repository that is used to store IBM BPM documents in IBM Business Process Manager. This enablement means that it supports the Content Management Interoperability Services standard for interoperability in Enterprise Content Management systems. This configuration includes support for the IBM BPM content store, another CMIS-enabled embedded document repository that is used for case management applications. It is only available in IBM Business Process Manager Advanced.

About this task

The IBM BPM document store is an optional component that uses its own database. It must be configured during the initial deployment environment creation. Afterward, it remains always enabled.

To configure the IBM BPM document store, you must add entries to the properties file before you create the deployment environment.

Procedure

Open your deployment environment properties file in an editor.
Specify the EmbeddedECM and DocumentStoreAdmin components on the application cluster. For example, if cluster 1 is the application cluster, and the next free component index is 2, add entries that are similar to the following example:
```
bpm.de.cluster.1.capability.1.component.2.name=EmbeddedECM
```
```
bpm.de.cluster.1.capability.1.component.3.name=DocumentStoreAdmin
```
Add a database definition EmbeddedEcmDb to the application cluster that uses the same cluster index as in the previous step. For example, add an entry that is similar to the following example:
```
bpm.de.cluster.1.db=SharedDb,PerformanceDB,EmbeddedEcmDb
```

Add the definition of the new EmbeddedEcmDb database. For example, for a DB2 for z/OS database that is named X8BPMDB, if the next free database index is 5, add entries that are similar to the following example:

bpm.de.db.5.name=EmbeddedEcmDb
bpm.de.db.5.dbCapabilities=EmbeddedECM
bpm.de.db.5.type=DB2zOS
bpm.de.db.5.hostname=winmvsea
bpm.de.db.5.portNumber=446
bpm.de.db.5.connectionLocation=DSNV10EP
bpm.de.db.5.databaseName=X8BPMDB
bpm.de.db.5.schema=X8BPM
bpm.de.db.5.vcat=DSNV10EP
bpm.de.db.5.bptable4k=BP1
bpm.de.db.5.bptable8k=BP8K1
bpm.de.db.5.bptable16k=BP16K1
bpm.de.db.5.bptable32k=BP32K1
bpm.de.db.5.bpindex=BP2
bpm.de.db.5.bplob4k=BP3
bpm.de.db.5.volumes='*'
bpm.de.db.5.stogrp=X8DBSTO

Results

The properties file includes the definitions that are necessary to configure the IBM BPM document store on the application cluster.

What to do next

Create your deployment environment by running the BPMConfig command.
