WebSphere Lombardi Edition 7.2 > Manage the Process Center repository


Manage Lombardi servers

From the Process Center Console, repository administrators can manage the Lombardi servers in their environment. Process Servers configured during Lombardi installation are automatically discovered and displayed in the Process Center Console. Any offline servers that have been added are also displayed in the Process Center Console.

From the Process Center Console, repository administrators can monitor the snapshots of process applications installed on each connected Process Server in the Lombardi environment. For example, administrators can monitor all snapshots installed on connected test and production servers. You can also open the Process Admin Console from the Process Center Console, which enables you to complete configuration and administrative tasks for each connected Process Server.

Use the Performance Admin Console to manage the Performance Data Warehouses in your environment. You can start the Performance Admin Console using the Windows start menu or desktop shortcuts, or you can open your favorite Web browser to the following location: http://[host_name]:[port]/PerformanceAdmin. See the Lombardi Administration Guide for more information about the Performance Admin Console.

The following figure shows a sample server configuration for Lombardi where all Process Servers are connected to the Process Center:

Before performing any of the following tasks, start Lombardi Authoring Environment and open the Process Center Console as explained in Start Lombardi Authoring Environment.


Monitoring installed snapshots on each Process Server from the Process Center Console

Only users who have administrative access to the Process Center repository can monitor all installed snapshots. Other users can monitor installed snapshots of process applications to which they have access.

  1. Click the Servers tab in the Process Center Console and select the Process Server that you want to monitor as shown in the following example.

    If you select a Process Server that is connected to the Process Center, you can see the installed snapshots and the number of instances (for exposed BPDs) currently running on the server. If you select an offline Process Server that has been added you can see the snapshots for which an installation package has been created.

    The snapshots are organized per process application. For example, in the following image, two different snapshots of the HR Onboarding process application have been installed on the selected Process Server:

  2. For each snapshot, you can click the Open in Designer option to open the selected snapshot of the process application in the Designer view. Doing so enables you to see the state of each library item as it existed when it was installed.


Configure Lombardi Process Servers from the Process Center Console

To configure all options for Lombardi Process Servers, you must be a Lombardi administrator. Other users can configure the parts of the server that affect the implementations that they develop in the Designer in Lombardi Authoring Environment. For example, members of the tw_authors group can configure the Event Manager. See the Lombardi Administration Guide or the online help for the Process Admin Console for more information.

  1. Click the Servers tab in the Process Center Console and then select the Process Server that you want to configure.

  2. Click the Configure option shown in the following image:

    The configure option is not available for offline servers.

  3. For the selected server, you can perform the administrative options listed in the Server Admin tab:

    You can find step-by-step Instructions for these configuration tasks in the Lombardi Administration Guide or the online help for the Process Admin Console.


Add offline servers to the Process Center Console

Lombardi enables you to install snapshots of process applications to Process Servers that are not connected to the Process Center Server. To do so, first add an offline server

You must have administrative access to the Process Center repository to add, edit, or remove offline servers. See Granting administrative access to the Process Center repository for more information.

  1. Click the Servers tab in the Process Center Console.

  2. Click the Add a New Offline Server option shown in the following image:

  3. In the Create New Server dialog, name the sever, choose the server type from the drop-down list, provide an optional description, and then click the Create button.

    Server names must be unique. Also, be sure to choose the appropriate server type so that the migration options made available during installation are appropriate. See Install process applications: offline Process Servers for more information.

    Lombardi displays the new server, as well as its type, in the Servers tab. You can change the name, server type, and description at any time by clicking the Edit option.


Remove offline servers from the Process Center Console

If an offline server has been removed from your Lombardi configuration, you can remove it from the Process Center Console. You must have administrative access to the Process Center repository to add or remove offline servers. See Granting administrative access to the Process Center repository for more information.

When you remove an offline server, all installation packages previously created for that server are also deleted. You cannot retrieve an offline server or the installation packages for that server after removing it.

  1. Click the Servers tab in the Process Center Console.
  2. Click the Remove Offline Server option.
  3. When prompted, confirm that you want to remove the server.
