IBM BPM for z/OS installation media contents

The IBM BPM for z/OS components that are to be installed on z/OS systems are supplied on a single tape or as a download package; components that are to be installed on non-z/OS systems are supplied on DVDs.

Software supplied with IBM BPM for z/OS

The IBM BPM for z/OS package contains all the software that you need to install IBM BPM for z/OS, and to assemble and deploy applications.
The tape, or download package, includes IBM Installation Manager for z/OS and WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, which are provided as prerequisite software for IBM BPM for z/OS. The following table lists the software that is supplied on the tape or in the download package.

Software Description
IBM BPM for z/OS Provides the main IBM BPM for z/OS software.
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Provides the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS software that install before install the IBM BPM for z/OS software.
IBM Installation Manager for z/OS Provides the IBM Installation Manager for z/OS software that you can use to install both WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and IBM BPM for z/OS into a z/OS product file system.
WebSphere Application Server Application Clients Provides a stand-alone client runtime environment for your client applications so that you do not need to install a full instance of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. The application client module is a Java™ Archive (JAR) file that contains a client for accessing a Java application.

The DVDs contain optional supplemental software that provides tool support for your production and development environments. The following table lists the software that is supplied on the DVDs.

Software Description
IBM BPM Clients Provides the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS configuration with SOA Core and Business Process Choreographer functionality without needing a full IBM BPM installation.

IBM BPM 8.0 Client for Windows: 32-bit and 64-bit
IBM BPM 8.0 Client for AIX
IBM BPM 8.0 Client for Solaris SPARC
IBM BPM 8.0 Client for Linux: 32-bit and 64-bit
IBM BPM 8.0 Client for Linux on System z

WebSphere Application Server Edge Components
Provides load balancing, caching, and centralized security. See the WebSphere Application Server Edge Components web page for more information.
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V8.0 Supplements Provides WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment functions, licensed for use with IBM BPM.

IBM Tivoli Access Manager Servers
Provides authentication and authorization APIs and integration to help you to secure access to business-critical applications and data that is spread across the extended enterprise. See IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business for more information.
Rational Agent Controller The Rational Agent Controller provides a technology for problem determination. The Rational Agent Controller is an enhancement to the Agent Controller from the Autonomic Computing Toolkit. Install the Rational Agent Controller on one of the supported z/OS system environments. Another z/OS system (perhaps an administrator workstation) can use the Log and Trace Analyzer to establish communication with the agent on the remote z/OS system. The Analyzer can request a specific log file from the Rational Agent Controller. The agent uses the appropriate log file parser to normalize the native log to a Common Base Event format and transfers the log file to the Log and Trace Analyzer. Create log file parsers for the Rational Agent Controller with the Common Base Event model builder, which is included in the Autonomic Computing Toolkit.

How to acquire IBM BPM for z/OS

You can obtain the product code in any of the following ways:

IBM Custom-Built Product Delivery Option (CBPDO): The system programmer uses SMP/E to unload the product code onto the z/OS system.
IBM SystemPac or ServerPac: The system programmer copies SMP/E data sets that correspond to the CustomPac service level onto the z/OS system.
