Restricting installation access to runtime servers
In order to install a snapshot on an online process server (a runtime server), you must have the appropriate access to the process application. Access requirements vary depending on whether the runtime server is in a development, non-production, or production environment.
If you need to restrict installation access further, edit the 100Custom.xml file.
You must log in to the Process Admin Console.
The 100Custom.xml must exist. See The 99Local.xml and 100Custom.xml configuration files.
By default, the following access to the process application is required for each type of environment:
- Administrative access to install to Process Servers in production environments
- Write access to install to any non-production Process Server
- Read access to install to Process Servers in development environments.
If you restrict access as described in the following procedure, a user must be a member of process-center-install-group in addition to having the default access.
For example, to install to a process server in a production environment, a user must have administrative access to the process application that is being installed and must also be a member of process-center-install-group.
Procedure
To restrict installation access...
- Access the host of the online IBM BPM Process Server that you want to configure.
- Stop the IBM Process Server.
- Open the PROFILE_HOME\config\cells\ cell_name\nodes\ node_name\servers\ server_name\process-server\config\100Custom.xml file with a text editor.
- Add the following property to the <server> tag in the 100Custom.xml file:
<process-center-install-group> group_name</process-center-install-group> The group_name variable represents the group of users to whom you want to grant this access.
You can use an existing group or create a new one. If you create a new group, ensure it also exists on the Process Center Server.
- Start the IBM Process Server.
Example
In the following example, the edited 100Custom.xml file grants installation access to the group named Install_Group_A.<properties> <server merge="mergeChildren"> <process-center-install-group>Install_Group_A</process-center-install-group> </server> </properties>
