Create a Deployment Server

A deployment server defines a connection to an ActiveMatrix BPM runtime.

Prerequisites

Obtain the following ActiveMatrix BPM runtime parameters from the system administrator:

  • The Server URL.
  • The Username. The default is root.
  • The Password. The default is t.

The Server URL is in the form: protocol://host:port where:

  • The Protocol is http or https. The default is http.
  • The Host is the name or IP address for the server that hosts the ActiveMatrix® BPM runtime. The default is localhost.
  • The Port identifies a specific network service. The default is 8120.

If the Protocol is https, obtain the self-signed certificate for the instance that hosts the ActiveMatrix® BPM runtime, and register that certificate with the TIBCO Business Studio JRE.

See BPM Implementation > Deploying BPM Applications > Creating a New Deployment Server for full instructions.

A Host with the default value of localhost is only applicable if the ActiveMatrix BPM runtime is on the same machine as TIBCO Business Studio.

TIBCO Business Studio automatically connects to the deployment server. This connection is only a requirement during deployment. It is not necessary to maintain the connection.

Procedure

  1. Click Window > Show View > Deployment Server.
    1. If Deployment Server is not available from the menu, then click Window > Show View > Other.
      The Show View window opens.
    2. Choose Studio > Deployment Server and click OK.
    The Deployment Server pane opens.
  2. From the Deployment Server pane, right-click Deployment Servers, and click New > Server.

    The New Server window opens.

  3. Enter the Server Parameters.
    1. Enter XYZWorkServer1 in the Name field.
    2. Select Administrator Server from the Runtime list.
  4. Click Next.

    The Runtime Server Parameters window opens.

  5. Enter the connection details for the deployment server.
    1. Enter the Server URL in the Server URL field.
    2. Enter the Username in the User Name field.
    3. Enter the Password in the Password field.
    4. Select BPMEnvironment from the Default Environment list.
    5. Select Save password.
    6. Click Test Connection.

      The Test Connection window opens.

      This confirms a successful connection to the ActiveMatrix BPM runtime.

      Note: If the connection is not successful, after several attempts to connect, an error message opens.
    7. Click OK.
  6. Click Finish.
    TIBCO Business Studio retrieves data from the server.
  7. Expand Deployment Servers > XYZWorkServer1.

    The contents of XYZWorkServer1 open.

    The Properties for Deployment Server also open, and shows that XYZWorkServer1 is connected.
