Primary Machine: Creating a BPM Node on Remote Machine 1

To create a BPM node on remote machine 1, run the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server wizard on the primary machine.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the primary machine (on which ActiveMatrix Administrator is running).
  2. In TIBCO Configuration Tool, choose the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server Wizard.
  3. Make sure that you complete the following screens/fields as shown.
    Screen Requirement
    ActiveMatrix BPM: Database Administrator Enter the details of the database server that will be used to host the ActiveMatrix BPM database. (See Configuring the BPM Database Server.)
    ActiveMatrix BPM: Runtime Database Configuration Enter the details of the ActiveMatrix BPM database.
    ActiveMatrix BPM: Configuration
    1. Select Override BPM Configuration Folder.
    2. In the Configuration Folder field, enter the location of the configuration folder on the shared file system (in which BPM properties files are to be stored).

      For example, SHARED_DIR\bpm_config.

      See Shared File System.

    ActiveMatrix BPM: LDAP Configuration If the LDAP server is SSL enabled, the Trust Store Location must be SHARED_DIR\keystores. See Shared File System.
    ActiveMatrix BPM: Administrator Server Configuration
    1. Select Use Existing ActiveMatrix Administrator Server.
    2. Specify the details of the ActiveMatrix Administrator server being used by the ActiveMatrix enterprise (AMX BPM Enterprise in Example configuration for a distributed ActiveMatrix BPM system).
    ActiveMatrix BPM: Host and Node Configuration
    1. Host: Enter the name of the TIBCO Host instance on which the BPM system will be created. This must be an existing host that is bound to the specified ActiveMatrix Administrator server (BPMHost1 in Example configuration for a distributed ActiveMatrix BPM system).
    2. Environment Name: Enter the name of the new ActiveMatrix environment in which the BPM system will be created (BPMEnvironment in Example configuration for a distributed ActiveMatrix BPM system).
    3. Node Name: Enter a unique name for the ActiveMatrix node on which the BPM system will be created (BPMNode1 in Example configuration for a distributed ActiveMatrix BPM system).
    4. Node Management Port: Enter a unique port number.
    Administrator Server Configuration: Summary Select Create ActiveMatrix BPM, then:
    • If the string [Creating Database Instance] is appended to the Create ActiveMatrix BPM action (indicating that you chose to automatically create the ActiveMatrix BPM database), click Configure.
    • If the string [Not Creating Database Instance] is appended to the Create ActiveMatrix BPM action (indicating that you chose to manually create the ActiveMatrix BPM database:
      1. Click Save to save the configuration information gathered in the preceding screens to the specified Session Scripts and Log Folder.
      2. Click Cancel to exit the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server wizard.
      3. Get a database administrator to manually create the BPM database - see Manually Running BPM Database Upgrade Scripts.
      4. Run the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server wizard again.
      5. Click Load, then select the Session Scripts and Log Folder in which you saved the configuration information.
      6. Click OK when the Loaded data model successful message is displayed.
      7. Click Next repeatedly until you reach the ActiveMatrix BPM: Runtime Database Configuration screen, then click Test Connection (to verify that TIBCO Configuration Tool can connect to the BPM database).
      8. Click Next repeatedly until you reach the Administrator Server Configuration: Summary screen, then click Configure.

    TIBCO Configuration Tool:

    • creates and starts a BPM node (of type BPM Node) on the specified TIBCO host instance.
    • creates the specified ActiveMatrix environment and adds the new node to it.

    For example, in Example configuration for a distributed ActiveMatrix BPM system:

    • BPMNode1 is started on BPMHost1.
    • BPMEnvironment is created to include BPMNode1.
  4. Click Close to exit TIBCO Configuration Tool.
