Create an IBM Process Server on IBM Process Center

An IBM Process Server on IBM Process Center is used to run process applications on a Process Server that is connected to a Process Center. The server that is created can be a staging server, test server, or production server.

If you have a Process Center server in the Servers view of IBM Integration Designer, you will find that it is easier and faster to create a Process Server on Process Center by following the instructions in the topic "Connecting to a process server". However, if you do not have a Process Center server in the Servers view, you can create a Process Server on Process Center by completing the instructions in the following procedure.


Procedure

  1. In IBM Integration Designer, click the Servers tab to open the Servers view.
  2. Ensure that the IBM Process Server is running.

  3. In the Servers view, right-click anywhere in the view and select New > Server. The New Server wizard opens to the Define a New Server page.
  4. Define the new Process Server on Process Center by completing the following steps:

    1. In the Select the server type list box, select IBM Process Server on Process Center.

    2. In the Server's host name field, ensure that the correct host name is selected for the new Process Server on Process Center to create.

      Only if you have installed a local test environment with IBM Business Monitor on WebSphere Application Server can you target a remote server with IBM Business Monitor running on WebSphere Application Server.

    3. In the Server name field, accept the default name or type in another name for the server.

    4. Click Next.

  5. Specify the connection settings for the Process Center by completing the following steps:

    1. If you want to set the host name, HTTP port, user ID, and password with the Process Center URI settings, click Use Default Process Center. (To view or change the Process Center URI settings, select Window > Preferences to open the Preferences window, then expand Business Integration in the tree view and select Process Center.)

    2. In the Host name field, specify the host name of the Process Center to which you want to connect.

    3. In the HTTP port field, specify the port of the Process Center.

    4. In the User ID and Password fields, specify the user name and password that you want to use to log into the Process Center.

    5. If you want to attempt to establish a connection to the Process Center to verify that your connection settings are correct, click Test Connection.

    6. Click Next to select the kind of Process Server on Process Center to create.

  6. In the Servers list, select the process server to create in the workspace for the Process Center. The list can display the names of one or more staging, test, or production process servers, but it only displays the names of the process servers that are currently connected to the Process Center that you specified on the previous page of the wizard.

  7. Click Next.

  8. If your selected process server is not a member of an ND (ND) environment, specify the connection settings for the IBM Process Server by completing the following steps:

    1. In the Host name field, specify the host name of the IBM Process Center.

    2. In the RMI port field, specify the ORB bootstrap connector port that you want to use to connect to the server.

    3. In the SOAP port field, specify the SOAP connector port that you want to use to connect to the server.

    4. Select the Security is enabled on this server check box if you want to specify that the server has security enabled. (The check box is selected by default.)

    5. In the User ID and Password fields, specify the administrative user ID and password that you want to use to log into the server. (By default, the fields are pre-populated with the user ID and password used to log into the Process Center.)

    6. Click Finish.

  9. If your server is a member of an ND (ND) environment, the correct host name and ports are automatically determined and set, but you must specify the remaining connection settings for the IBM Process Server by completing the following steps:

    1. Select the Security is enabled on this server check box if you want to specify that the server has security enabled. (The check box is selected by default.)

    2. In the User ID and Password fields, specify the user ID and password used to log into the ND dmgr. (By default, the fields are pre-populated with the user ID and password used to log into the Process Center.)

    3. Click Finish.


Results

The new Process Server on Process Center is displayed in the Servers view. Any process application snapshots that reside in the workspace and that are installed on the server are shown nested under the server.

Unlike a Process Center server, publishing is not available to a Process Server on Process Center because the snapshot must be installed on a Process Server using the Process Center. Also, you cannot make changes to a snapshot, which means that there is never a need to publish.
