Build and Deploy Applications (.ear)

The ALBPM Process Administrator allows you to bundle the ALBPM applications as .ear files for installation on WebLogic.

Before creating the ALBPM application archives, you must have an ALBPM Engine for WebLogic configured.

  1. Login to ALBPM Process Administrator. By default, it runs on http://host:8686/webconsole.
  2. Click on Engines and then click on the name of your ALBPM Engine for WebLogic. You should see the configuration properties for your Engine.
  3. Click on the Basic Configuration tab and then on J2EE Application Server Files.

    This page allows you to (re)create the .ear files of those ALBPM applications associated with this Engine.

    Note: When you access this page, the Process Administrator gets the status of each of the applications by contacting ALBPM Deployer. You will get a warning message at the bottom of the page if there was any problem contacting ALBPM Deployer. If this is the case, make sure the BPM Application Deployer URL (within the Application Server tab) is correct and that ALBPM Deployer is up and running on WebLogic.
  4. Click on the "new" icon () next to each of the applications you want to install.
  5. Click on the "install" icon () next to each of the applications you want to install.
    Attention: This may take several minutes. Do not click any link on the page and do back in your browser until the page is automatically reloaded. When you click on the icon, ALBPM Process Administrator transfers the file over to WebLogic's Deployment Manager (by means of ALBPM Deployer) and then WebLogic goes through the application installation process.
