To deploy all of the components of a business process application into a production portal environment.

1. Setup the task page definitions

2. Deploy the task processing portlet, process instantiation portlet, and all supporting portlets.

   Install the task portlets and place them on the task page using either the portal administrative interface or the XML configuration interface. If you are deploying the business process into a cluster, the task portlets must be deployed to the same task page definition on each node in the cluster.

   To provide the task processing and process instantiation portlets access to the required EJB client stubs, follow these steps after the portlets have been deployed.

   1. Log in to the administrative console for the portal server or cluster.

3. Deploy the process to the business process container

• Define the task page

  A task page definition is required for each activity, or task, that requires human interaction. The task page definition contains the task processing portlet and any other portlets that are required to process the work that is associated with the task. When a user opens a task for processing, an instance of that page definition is dynamically created and added under the page container for open tasks.
