Configure a stand-alone environment with an Oracle database server on Solaris
You can configure a stand-alone environment for IBM BPM using an Oracle database server.
- Set up Oracle databases
You or your database administrator (DBA) can configure the Process Server database, Performance Data Warehouse database, and Common database before, after, or during creating or augmenting a profile.
- Create database design files for Oracle
You can specify the design of your database configuration by using the database design tool. The design can be for a specific component or for an enterprise-level database configuration supporting the full functionality of IBM BPM.
- Create or augment stand-alone profiles with an Oracle database server
You can create profiles using PMT or manageprofiles.sh. You can augment an existing profile instead of creating a new one if you have an existing WebSphere Application Server V8.0 profile.
- Configure Oracle databases after stand-alone profile creation
If you did not create the tables for the databases while creating or augmenting profiles, you or your database administrator must create the databases and their tables manually, and you must also run the bootstrapProcessServerData command before you try to start or use the IBM BPM server.
