Configuring the DataSourceBDS Shared Resource

Configure the DataSourceBDS JDBC resource template with the details of the database that will be used to hold the BDS case data store. This database should have been created earlier.

Note: You only need to perform this task if:
  1. you are upgrading an existing BPM system

    and

  2. you intend to host the BDS case data store in a separate database to the ActiveMatrix BPM database.

Procedure

  1. Log in to ActiveMatrix Administrator.
  2. Click Applications, then select the ActiveMatrix BPM application (by default, amx.bpm.app > System > amx.bpm.app).
  3. On the Resource Templates tab, in the list of resource templates, click DataSourceBDS.

    The Resource Template Details dialog is displayed.

  4. On the General tab:
    • In the Data Source field, select the appropriate entry for the database you are using (DB2, SQL Server or Oracle).
    • In the Username and Password fields, enter the details of the database user that you created earlier.
  5. On the Advanced tab, enter the Connection Properties needed for the JDBC connection string for this database.

    For example, if you are using a SQL Server database, enter the appropriate values for the portNumber, serverName and databaseName.

  6. On the Resource Instances tab, select the DataSourceBDS resource instance, Uninstall it, then re-Install it.
