After you have finished installing IBM Business Process
Manager or at any time thereafter, you can use the Component Health
Center in the administrative console to check the status of the configured
components in your IBM BPM deployment environment. Examples of configured
components include IBM Process Server, Process Center, and Performance
Data Warehouse.
Before you begin
Your user ID must be associated with the WebSphere administrative
role of Administrator or Configurator to use the Component Health
Center.
About this task
The Component Health Center panel contains a table that lists
the configured components in the deployment environment and indicates
the status of each component. Each component name has a hyperlink
that you can click to open a Details page where you can view detailed
health information for a selected component and its associated resources.
This enables you to investigate possible problems in a component or
its resources.
To determine the status of the configured components
in the deployment environment, the following checks are automatically
performed:
- The associated resources for every component are checked to determine
whether they are usable. For example, each component's database is
checked to determine whether it has been created and a connection
can be established.
- The security configuration is checked to determine whether the
essential requirements have been met.
- IBM Process Server, Process Center, and Performance Data Warehouse
are checked to determine whether they are usable. Several runtime
checks are performed, such as whether the associated applications
and message engines have started.
Procedure
- Log into the administrative console.
- If your environment has not yet been started, start the
environment by following the instructions in the topic "Starting and
stopping your environment."
- In the tree view, select . The Component
Health Center opens.
- In the Status column, examine the
status of the components. Icons are used to indicate the status of
components or resources in the Component Health Center, as shown in
the following table:
| Icons |
Description |
|---|
 |
Indicates that there are no detected problems
for a component or resource. |
 |
Indicates that there are possible problems for
a component or resource. |
 |
Indicates that the status of a resource cannot
be determined. |
- In the Component column, click the
hyperlinked name of a configured component. The Details page opens.
The Details page displays the configuration status of the
component. If the component has any associated resources, such as
applications and databases, the resources are displayed in tables
at the bottom of the panel.
- In the Configuration status field,
examine the configuration status of the component.
For
the Cell Database, Cell Security, and Deployment Environment Security
components, there is never a configuration status. For the Deployment
Environment Bootstrap component, the configuration status can be Finished, Unfinished,
or Unknown. For all other components,
the configuration status is always Configured.
- In the associated resource tables at the bottom of the
panel, examine the status of the resources that are associated with
the component. Depending on the component, there are five main types
of associated resources, as shown in the following table:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Applications |
Applications are associated with many different components,
such as the ProcessServer, ProcessCenter, and PDW components. In the
Application table, examine the icons in the Installed and Started columns
to determine whether each application is installed and started. Also
examine the Exception Messages column to determine
if there are any messages for the applications. |
| Authentication aliases |
Authentication aliases are associated with the Cell Security
and Deployment Environment Security components. In the Authentication
Aliases table, examine the icons in the Created column
to determine whether each authentication alias has been created. |
| Messaging |
Messaging engines are associated with the Messaging component.
In the Messaging table, examine the icons in the Started column
to determine whether each messaging engine has been started. Also
examine the Exception Messages column to determine
if there are any messages for the messaging engines. |
| Bootstrap |
Bootstraps are associated with the Deployment Environment
Bootstrap component. In the Bootstrap table, examine the icons in
the Imported column to determine whether the
bootstraps have been imported. |
| Databases |
Databases are associated with many different components, such
as the ProcessServer, PDW, BusinessSpace, and BPC components. In the
Databases table, examine the icons in the Created and Connected columns
to determine whether each database is installed and connected. Also
examine the Exception Messages column to determine
if there are any messages for the databases. |
