Configuring TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM to Use Hostname and Aliases

Configure TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM to use the created hostname and DB aliases, by running the TIBCO Configuration Tool.

Note: If all of the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM components are installed on the same server, localhost can be specified as the hostname in all the fields defined below, with the exception of HTTP Work Presentation Host, which must use the defined alias. (This is because the hostname is embedded in the URL in work item notification emails for remote access from clients, so the URL must be the public address that clients use to access TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.)

Procedure

  1. In the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server wizard, use the indicated aliases in the following screens and fields.
    Screen Field Enter Example
    Database Administrator URL Aliased JDBC connect string that identifies the Oracle database used by BPM jdbc:oracle:thin:@amx-bpm-db-host:db-port-num/amxbpmdb
    Runtime Database Configuration URL Aliased JDBC connect string that identifies the Oracle database used by BPM jdbc:oracle:thin:@amx-bpm-db-host:db-port-num/amxbpmdb
    BDS Database Configuration URL Aliased JDBC connect string that identifies the Oracle database used to host the BDS case data store jdbc:oracle:thin:@amx-bpm-db-host:db-port-num/amxbpmdb
    Client Configuration HTTP Work Presentation Host Hostname alias that identifies the public load balancer amx-bpm-public-load-balancer
    SMTP Host Hostname alias that identifies the SMTP server amx-bpm-smtp-host
    LDAP Configuration URL Hostname alias that identifies the LDAP server amx-bpm-ldap-host
  2. In the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Server wizard, use the indicated aliases in the following screens and fields.
    Screen Field Enter Example
    TIBCO Host Instance Machine Name Hostname alias that identifies the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator server amx-bpm-amx-host
    Internal HTTP Port Load Balancer URL (If required) Hostname alias that identifies the load balancer amx-bpm-int-load-balancer
    Notification and Messaging Bus Server Machine Name Port List Hostname alias (and port) that identifies the EMS server used by TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator amx-bpm-ems-host:7222
    Database Details Database URL Aliased JDBC connect string that identifies the Oracle database used by BPM jdbc:oracle:thin:@amx-bpm-db-host:db-port-num/amxbpmdb
