Installing and accessing other applications

Install and access applications from the administrative console or Business Process Choreographer Explorer to further test your deployment environment.

You must have successfully installed and configured a deployment environment.

You can install and start other applications similarly to the way installed your test application. To access these applications you will use the administrative console or Business Process Choreographer Explorer.


Procedure

  1. Locate your application.

    In the administrative console click Applications > New Application and locate the application to install.

  2. Install the application.

  3. Start the application.

  4. Access the application.

    Enter a URL for the application in a browser window.

    For example, http:// hostname: portnumber/myapp where hostname is the fully qualified DNS name (or IP address) of the system corresponding to the cluster member on which you've installed the application, portnumber is the port number associated with default_host for that cluster member, and myapp is the name of the application that you want to access.

    From Business Process Choreographer Explorer:

    1. Enter a URL in the following form in a browser window: http:// hostname: portnumber/bpc where hostname is the fully qualified DNS name (or IP address) of the system corresponding to the cluster member, on which you've installed the application, and portnumber is the port number associated with default_host for that cluster member.

      A page will appear labeled My Tasks, but with no tasks listed.

    2. Select My Process Templates. You should see templates listed corresponding to any applications that installed.

    3. Use the interface controls on the page to start a task, work on it, complete it, and so on. For more information on running Business Process Choreographer tasks, see "Administering business processes and human tasks."

  5. If required, you can check the servant logs for the cluster member to view a record of the application and check for errors.
