Plan for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer and Business Process Archive Explorer
Plan the configuration options and parameters for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer and Business Process Archive Explorer.
If you will use the Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer you can either configure them at the same time as you configure Business Process Choreographer or Business Process Archive Manager, or you can do it later.
The reporting function is optional, and can be used with Business Process Choreographer Explorer and Business Process Archive Explorer.
Procedure
- Decide how many Business Process Choreographer Explorer and Business Process Archive Explorer instances you want to configure.
You can easily create the first instance while configuring Business Process Choreographer or Business Process Archive Manager.
- Because each Business Process Choreographer Explorer instance can only connect to one Business Process Choreographer configuration, it makes sense to set up a Business Process Choreographer Explorer instance for each Business Process Choreographer configuration.
- Similarly, because each Business Process Archive Explorer instance can only connect to one Business Process Archive Manager configuration, it makes sense to set up a Business Process Archive Explorer instance for each Business Process Archive Manager configuration.
- You might want to have two or more differently customized Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer configurations that connect to the same Business Process Choreographer or Business Process Archive Manager. You can customize each version independently, for more information about what you can customize, see Customize Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer.
- If you want extra instances of the Business Process Archive Explorer, use the configuration script to create them, as described in Use the clientconfig.jacl script file to configure Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer.
- If you want extra instances of the Business Process Choreographer Explorer, you can either create them using the administrative console, as described in Business Process Choreographer Explorer settings, or using the configuration script, as described in Use the clientconfig.jacl script file to configure Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer.
- For each Business Process Choreographer Explorer and Business Process Archive Explorer instance that you want, plan the following:
For more information about these configuration parameters, refer to Business Process Choreographer Explorer settings.
- The deployment target where you will configure the instance.
- You can configure multiple Business Process Choreographer Explorer and Business Process Archive Explorer instances on each server or cluster. Whether an instance behaves like a Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer actually depends on the configuration that the instance connects to.
- You can create the instances on any deployment target.
- The context root. It must be unique within the cell. The default for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer is /bpc. The default for the Business Process Archive Explorer is /bpcarchive.
- The URL for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer that will, for example, be inserted in escalation e-mails.
- If you are planning to configure a Business Process Choreographer Explorer, plan the URL for the Business Flow Manager and Human Task Manager representational state transfer (REST) APIs endpoints. They must match the values for the context roots that you planned for the REST APIs.
For example, if the context root for the Human Task Manager web service is /rest/bpm/htm, the endpoint URL for the Human Task Manager REST API endpoint would be http:// hostname: port/rest/bpm/htm.
- The maximum number of results to be returned for a query - the default is 10000.
- The deployment target (server or cluster) of the Business Process Choreographer or Business Process Archive Manager instance that this Business Process Choreographer Explorer or Business Process Archive Explorer will connect to.
