Completing post-installation tasks

Depending on your environment and the installed process application, there are several tasks that might need to be completed immediately after installation.

Use the following table to understand the possible post-installation tasks and determine whether you need to complete any of them.

Task Description See
Set environment variables In some cases, the correct value for a particular environment (such as test or production) might not be known during process design. In those cases, you need to provide the value after installing the process application in the new environment. Configuring runtime environment variables
Establish runtime participant groups After a process application is installed on a process server in a new environment (such as test or production), you might need to add or remove users in the participant groups for that application. For example, users that exist in the test environment might not have been available in the development environment. Configuring runtime participant groups
Control exposed processes and services After a process application is installed on a process server in a new environment (such as test or production), you might need to disable a particular exposed process or service within that application. Configuring exposed processes and services
Note: The installation service for your process application can be customized to handle these types of tasks. See Building custom installation services for more information.
