Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite EAP Bundle Installation
This section describes installing
the Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite package deployable for Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform (EAP). The minimum supported
configuration of Red Hat JBoss EAP for Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite
installation is 6.1.1.
1.1. Download EAP-6.1.1
Application Server
- Go to the Red Hat Customer Portal (http://access.redhat.com) and log in. If you don't have one, please register and create a new account to download
- In the Red Hat Customer Portal home page,click on the DOWNLOADS link in the top of the page,
- In the Product Download page, under JBoss Development and Management section, click Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
- In the Software Downloads page, Select Enterprise Application Platform in the product drop down list and from the Version drop down list, select 6.1.1.
- Move down to the bottom of the list and click Download link next to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
- Save the file into you local file system.
- Once download completed, Unzip the downloaded EAP zip package into your SERVER_HOME_PARENT_DIR directory.Example: /SERVER_HOME_PARENT_DIR/jboss-eap-6.1
1.2. Download the BPM
Suite bundle
- In the Software Downloads page, Select BPM Suite in the product drop down list and from the Version drop down list, select 6.0.3.
- Select Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.0.3 Deployable for EAP 6.1.1 and then click Download button.
- Save it in your local file system.
- Extract the BPMS zip file (jboss-bpms-6.0.3.GA-redhat-1-deployable-eap6.x.zip) you downloaded in step 2.2 and merge it into your EAP SERVER_HOME directory(created in step 2.1 in this tutorial).In this process, multiple files in the EAP SERVER_HOME directory will be overwritten and you must let the unzip process overwrite these files. An example of a file that is overwritten is the SERVER_HOME
/bin/product.conf
file. After a successful merge, this file must contain the stringslot=bpms
. You can open this file to verify that the files have been overwritten successfully.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can
use the following command to extract the BPMS zip file and merge it
into your server directory correctly in one step, if you execute this
command in the directory where you have downloaded the zip file:
unzip -u jboss-bpms-6.0.3.GA-redhat-1-deployable-eap6.x.zip -d SERVER_HOME_PARENT_DIR
2.
Roles and Users
Before starting the EAP server and
logging onto Business Central, you will need to create some user
accounts. This section describes the different user roles that are
used in Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite.
To start adding new users, you will
need to run the add-user.sh script on a Unix system or the
add-user.bat file on a Windows system from the EAP bin
directory.
- Navigate to /jboss-eap-6.1/bin folder
- Run ./add-user.sh on a Unix system or add-user.bat on a Windows system from the bin directory.
- Enter 'b' to select an Application User at the type of user prompt and press Enter.
- Accept the default Realm (ApplicationRealm): by pressing Enter.
- At the username prompt, enter a user name and confirm.For example:
bpmadmin
. - Create the user's password at the password prompt and reenter the password.For example: bpmadmin
@123
.The password should be at least 8 characters in length and should contain upper and lower case alphabetic characters (e.g. A-Z, a-z), at least one numerical character (e.g. 0-9) and at least one special character (e.g. ~ ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) - _ + =). - Type a comma separate list of roles the user will need at the roles prompt and Enter(eg. admin,analyst,user,manager,developer). Business Central users need to have at least the
analyst
role, and dashbuilder users need to have theadmin
role. Roles should be entered as a comma-separated list. - Confirm you want to add the user.
- Type no at the next prompt and Enter.
3.
Testing the installation
The default startup script,
standalone.sh
that Red Hat JBoss BPM
Suite ships with is optimized for performance. To run your server in
the performance mode, do the following:
- On the command line, move into the $SERVER_HOME
/bin/
directory. - In a Unix environment run:./standalone.shIn a Windows environment run:./standalone.bat
- After the server has successfully started, open a new browser window and type the following in the url to view the BPM workbench (business central).
- Log in with the user credentials that were created during installation. For example: User =
bpmadmin
and password = bpmadmin@123
. - Try create some sample project using business central.
