Install ALBPM Deployer

Install ALBPM Deployer to simplify the deployment and general management of ALBPM Enterprise applications deployed in WebSphere.

ALBPM Deployer is a j2ee application which must be installed on WebSphere's Admin server and acts as a bridge between ALBPM's Process Administrator and WebSphere. Once you have ALBPM Deployer installed and running, you can manage (start, stop, install/uninstall) your ALBPM applications directly from the ALBPM Process Administrator (without the need to use WebSphere's console).
  1. Login to WebSphere's Administration Console. By default, it runs on http://host:9060/ibm/console.
  2. Go to Applications > Install New Applications and select ALBPM Deployer EAR file.

    The ALBPM Deployer consists of an EAR file provided with the installation of ALBPM Enterprise. It is located under the following directory: BEA_HOME/albpm6.0/j2eews/j2ee/websphere/deployer.

    Two copies are provided. You should pick one depending on whether your WebSphere environment has Global Security enabled:
    • wasj2eedeployer.ear: If security is disabled.
    • wasj2eedeployersecured.ear: If security is enabled.
    Note: If WebSphere's Administration Console didn't prompt you for a password at login, it probably means Global Security is disabled.
  3. Click Next and review the installation options. Accepting the default installation options works for most cases. Always refer to WebSphere's official documentation for details.
  4. Click Next and select the WebSphere server where to install ALBPM Deployer. On a single-server setup, you must install it on the only server available.
    Restriction: On a clustered WebSphere environment, ALBPM Deployer must be installed in the Deployment Manager server (dmgr). WebSphere's Console may not allow you to pick the Deployment Manager server as a target for installing applications; If this is the case, you must install ALBPM Deployer using other means, such as WebSphere's wsadmin command-line tool.
  5. Click Next again, and Finish after reviewing all selected options. You should get confirmation that Fuego WebSphere Deployer application was successfully installed.
  6. Save your WebSphere configuration changes.
  7. Go to Applications > Enterprise Applications and start Fuego WebSphere Deployer application.
The ALBPM WebSphere Deployer is now installed and ready.
