Example: Multiple machines hosting the deployment manager and three nodes: Advanced, PS, DB2

Use the configureNode command-line utility to create a Process Server topology for IBM Business Process Manager Advanced with a deployment manager and three nodes on four different machines, using a DB2 database.

This example assumes that you have four machines and you want to create the following configuration:

Machine	Node	Messaging cluster	Support cluster	Application target cluster	Web cluster
M03	Dmgr	-	-	-
M04	Node01	1	0	1	0
M05	Node02	0	1	0	1
M06	Node03	1	1	1	1

Procedure

1. Copy the following sample properties files:

   • install_root/util/ndUtils/std/samples/sample_adv_ps_dmgr.properties

   • install_root/util/ndUtils/std/samples/sample_adv_ps_node.properties

2. Create a new deployment manager file, for example adv_dmgr.properties and three custom node files, for example node01.properties, node02.properties, and node03.properties. Update the files with the required values.

   Important: If you are using an Oracle database instead of a DB2 database, you must include the database user name and password for all databases, including the optional ones. The database user name must be different for each database.

   Example of deployment manager file:

   # filename: adv_dmgr.properties
   
   server.type = PS       # Process Center (PCS) or Process Server (PS)
   
   # Dmgr setting
   hostName=M03.ibm.com
   adminUserName=admin
   adminPassword=admin
   
   nodeName=Dmgr
   initialPortAssignment=12030
   
   # Environment settings environment.type = Test
   processCenterURL= http://M01:9080 #(optional, if not set, the environment is offline PS)
   repository.user = admin #(optional, if not set, the environment is offline PS)
   repository.credential = admin #(optional, if not set, the environment is offline PS)
   
   # Database settings dbType=DB2	
   dbServerName=M01
   dbPortNumber=50000
   
   # DB for Process Server
   prcsvr.dbName = BPMDB2
   prcsvr.dbUserName = bpmadmin
   prcsvr.dbPassword = s0m3passw0rd
   
   # DB for Performance Data Warehouse perfDW.dbName = PDWDB2
   perfDW.dbUserName = bpmadmin
   perfDW.dbPassword = s0m3passw0rd
   
   # DB for Common DB
   cmn.dbName=CMNDB2
   cmn.dbUserName=bpmadmin
   cmn.dbPassword=s0m3passw0rd
   
   # DB for Business Process Choreographer bpc.dbName=BPEDB2
   bpc.dbUserName=s0m3passw0rd
   bpc.dbPassword=bpmadmin
   

   Examples of custom node files:

   # filename: node01.properties
   
   nodeName=Node01
   initialPortAssignment=12809
   
   # Basic Install environment information
   server.type = PS       # Process Center (PCS) or Process Server (PS)
   install.type = Advanced # Optional
   
   #Install clusters on this node
   install.cluster.support = 1
   install.cluster.AppTarget = 1 
   install.cluster.message = 0
   install.cluster.web = 0
   
   # Database settings dbType=DB2	
   
   # Deployment Manager Properties
   dmgr.hostName=M03.ibm.com
   dmgr.adminUserName=admin
   dmgr.adminPassword=admin
   dmgr.initialPortAssignment=12030
   

   # filename: node02.properties
   
   nodeName=Node02
   initialPortAssignment=14809
   
   # Basic Install environment information
   server.type = PS       # Process Center (PCS) or Process Server (PS)
   install.type = Advanced # Optional
   
   #Install clusters on this node
   install.cluster.support = 0
   install.cluster.AppTarget = 0
   install.cluster.message = 1
   install.cluster.web = 1
   
   # Database settings dbType=DB2	
   
   # Deployment Manager Properties
   dmgr.hostName=M03.ibm.com
   dmgr.adminUserName=admin
   dmgr.adminPassword=admin
   dmgr.initialPortAssignment=12030
   

   # filename: node03.properties
   
   nodeName=Node03
   initialPortAssignment=16809
   
   # Basic Install environment information
   server.type = PS       # Process Center (PCS) or Process Server (PS)
   install.type = Advanced # Optional
   
   #Install clusters on this node
   install.cluster.support = 1
   install.cluster.AppTarget = 1
   install.cluster.message = 1
   install.cluster.web = 1
   
   # Database settings dbType=DB2	
   
   # Deployment Manager Properties
   dmgr.hostName=M03.ibm.com
   dmgr.adminUserName=admin
   dmgr.adminPassword=admin
   dmgr.initialPortAssignment=12030
   

3. Run the configureNode command on the four machines.

   1. Log on to machine M03 and run the following command:

      • install_root\util\ndUtils\configureNode.bat -dmgr_response adv_dmgr.properties

      • 

        install_root/util/ndUtils/configureNode.sh -dmgr_response adv_dmgr.properties

   2. Log on to machine M04 and run the following command:

      • install_root\util\ndUtils\configureNode.bat -response node01.properties

      • 

        install_root/util/ndUtils/configureNode.sh -response node01.properties

   3. Log on to machine M05 and run the following command:

      • install_root\util\ndUtils\configureNode.bat -response node02.properties

      • 

        install_root/util/ndUtils/configureNode.sh -response node02.properties

   4. Log on to machine M06 and run the following command:

      • install_root\util\ndUtils\configureNode.bat -response node03.properties

      • 

        install_root/util/ndUtils/configureNode.sh -response node03.properties
