Re-Configuring External Resources

Some External Resources (formerly "Service Endpoints") need to be re-configured for 6.0. You must change your SQL Database External Resources to use the new JDBC drivers provided by BEA.

  1. Login to the Process Administrator.
  2. Click on External Resources.
  3. For each External Resource of type SQL Database and sub-type Remote JDBC you may need to change the associated J2EE configuration:
    1. Click on the External Resource ID.
    2. Change the selection of the J2EE drop-down from "Local configuration for ENGINE_ID Engine" (where ENGINE_ID is the name of your Process Engine) to "Local J2EE Configuration".
    3. Push Save.
  4. For all other External Resources of type SQL Database:
    1. Click on the External Resource ID.
    2. Click on Change the subtype link in order to change the JDBC driver.
    3. Select the BEA-provided JDBC driver for your Database from the drop-down menu.
    4. Push Save.
  5. For each External Resource of type Web Service you will have to force a Save operation in order to re-generate the configuration information:
    1. Click on the External Resource ID.
    2. Push Save.
All your External Resources should now be ready.
Important: Do NOT start your Process Execution Engines yet. You must first re-deploy your migrated projects.
