Modifying and extending an existing installation
After you install and configure the runtime environment on your system in IBM® Business Process Manager, you might want to customize your configuration. For example, you might want to customize settings, set up an additional security provider, set up user accounts, and change and encrypt passwords.
- Adding the Basic Case Management feature to IBM Business Process Manager
The Basic Case Management feature provides capabilities that enable knowledge workers to drive business outcomes by using a combination of structured workflows, ad-hoc tasks, and document processing. If you did not install the Basic Case Management feature when you initially installed IBM Business Process Manager, you can add it later by following these steps. - 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. - Using wsadmin commands 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 wsadmin command to change the Process Server settings that are used for connecting to the Process Center. - Customizing IBM BPM to work with a web server
After you install and configure IBM Business Process Manager, you must customize your environment so that it can function properly as a cluster with a web server. - Customizing context roots for the components in a deployment environment
After you create a deployment environment, you can customize the context root for all components in the environment by using the BPMConfig script to add a prefix. You can also customize the Process Portal context root by adding a prefix that is specific to this component only. - Customizing Business Process Choreographer
Business Process Choreographer is configured by default when you use the BPMConfig command or the deployment environment wizard to create your Business Process Manager Advanced environment. Depending on your requirements, you might need to perform further customization. - Changing IBM Business Process Manager and database passwords
You can change the IBM Business Process Manager and database passwords after completing the installation and configuration. - Configuring Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) for use with IBM Business Process Manager
Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is an option of an Oracle database that brings together two or more computers to form a clustered database that behaves as a single system. In a RAC database, Oracle processes that run in separate nodes access the same data from a shared disk storage. - Configuring a proxy server for Process Portal
If you use Process Portal in a three cluster topology with Process Server and Process Portal on different clusters, they must both be accessible using the same domain and port number. The configureProxyServer script provides a simple way to create the routing server functionality that is mandatory for IBM BPM Process Portal configuration. - Configuring the Business Space component and registering REST endpoints on the administrative console
You can install and configure the Business Space component using the administrative console. - Configuring the Business Space Ajax proxy
You might want to modify the Business Space Ajax proxy for special considerations in Process Portal, such as changing timeout settings or blocking IP addresses for secure production environments. - Cloning the deployment environment
You can export the configuration properties from an existing deployment environment, modify the properties with the IBM BPM Configuration editor, and then create another deployment environment on a different IBM Business Process Manager installation that is similar to the exported deployment environment (a clone with modifications). - Extracting configuration properties for comparison
You can export the configuration properties from two different V8.5.5 deployment environments and compare them, using your own comparison tools, to understand the difference between two IBM Business Process Manager systems. - Extending a network deployment environment
After you have created your network deployment environment, you can extend your environment using the BPMConfig command or by using the Deployment Environment wizard.
