Configuring the BPM Engine for Monitoring and Recovery

A basic Java CAPS deployment with BPM Business Processes leverages the runtime monitoring and management features of Enterprise Manager Monitor. In order to monitor and manage your runtime deployments, you must configure the BPM Engine to enable persistence and to connect to the monitoring and recovery database. For more information about the BPM Engine properties, see Configuring the BPM Engine.

To Configure the BPM Engine for Monitoring and Recovery

1. In the Services window, expand the Environment in which the Business Process will run, and then expand the Logical Host.
2. Right-click the application server, and then click Properties.
3. Click BPM Engine Configuration.

   The properties for the BPM Engine appear.

4. To configure the connection to the monitoring and recovery database, enter the following:

   • Database - The type and version of database you are using.

   • Database Host - The name of the machine on which the database resides.

   • Database Port - The port number to connect to the database.

   • Database Instance/Schema - The database instance, schema, or SID.

   • Database User - The user name for the database. This is the user name defined in the database scripts you ran when creating the database tables.

   • Database Password - The password for the database user. This is the password defined in the database scripts you ran when creating the database tables.

5. To enable persistence and recovery without load balancing and failover, enter the following:

   • Persistence Mode - Select Persist to Database - Single Engine (Recovery).

   • Recovery Enabled - Select true.

6. To enable monitoring with Enterprise Manager, set Enable Monitoring to true.
7. To enable the automatic execution of the database scripts, set Automatic Execution of Database Scripts to true.
