Starting Process Administrator

After creating a new Directory configuration pointing to your existing 5.x Directory database you must start ALBPM's Process Administrator to continue with the upgrade procedures.

1. From the main window of the Admin Center, click on Start BPM Web Applications.

   The Admin Center starts the Web Applications. When the Process Administrator application starts, it will automatically migrate the Directory database schema to the new version.

2. When the applications have finished starting, click on Launch Process Administrator to open a web browser to access the Process Administrator application.
   Note: You may also open your preferred web browser from outside Admin Center. The default URL to the Process Administrator application is: http://localhost:8686/webconsole/.
3. Login to Process Administrator using the same administrator user and password you used to specify for 5.x.
   You should see all the existing information and configuration data of your Directory.

   Important: Do NOT start any Process Execution Engines yet. You must first re-configure the Database properties and re-deploy your migrated projects.
4. If running the J2EE edition of ALBPM, you should now start your application servers. If you are upgrading ALBPM for WebLogic or WebSphere, start the Administration server and any additional server in your cluster where you will deploy the ALBPM applications.
