Modifying the P6 Environment for BPM 11g

Contents

You can use BPM 11g (11.1.1.6 or later) with P6 EPPM R8.3. Previous versions of 11g will not work with R8.3.

To configure BPM 11g with P6 Release 8.3:

1. In the P6 media pack Tools\BPM Connector\11g subfolder, locate the prm-bpm-connector-11.1.1.X-v1.0.jar
2. Copy the connector file listed above to the local drive of the P6 application server. Determine the location of the BPM installation that you are using to integrate with P6. If you have multiple SOA Suite installations, ensure that you determine the location of the specific installation that you are integrating with P6.
3. Copy all the supporting jars from the BPM installation that you are using to integrate with P6 to a separate directory on the host where P6 is running. Their default locations are listed:
   • C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\soa\modules\oracle.soa.fabric_11.1.1\

     bpm-infra.jar

   • C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\soa\modules\oracle.soa.workflow_11.1.1\

     bpm-services.jar

   • C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\soa\modules\oracle.soa.fabric_11.1.1\

     fabric-runtime.jar

   • C:\oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\oracle.jmx_11.1.1\

     jmxframework.jar

   • C:\oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\oracle.jmx_11.1.1\

     jmxspi.jar

   • C:\oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\bpm\modules\oracle.bpm.mgmt_11.1.1\

     oracle.bpm.bpmn-em-tools.jar

   • C:\oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\soa\modules\oracle.soa.mgmt_11.1.1\

     soa-infra-mgmt.jar

   • C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib

     wlclient.jar

   • C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\webservices

     wsclient_extended.jar

   • C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\oui\jlib

     xml.jar

   • C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\oracle.xdk_11.1.0

     xmlparserv2.jar

     Notes:

     • The jars must be from the same BPM installation that will be integrated with P6.
     • Copy the P6 BPM connector file into one folder and the jars from the BPM installation into a separate sibling folder. Do not use the same folder. This makes it easier to identify which JARs came from where, without having to refer back to documentation. For example, when an administrator later needs to update just the connector files or jars for any reason, it would be less confusing for them if the files were in separate directories.
4. Edit the weblogic.policy file:
   1. Locate the weblogic.policy file in one of the following locations:

      In Windows: C:\WebLogic_Home\wlserver_10.3\server\lib

      In Linux: /WebLogic_Home/wlserver_10.3/server/lib

   2. Add the following information in weblogic.policy file and restart the P6 application server.

      grant codeBase "file:<full path to BPM support JAR directory>/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

      For example :

      grant codeBase "file:C:/oracle/bpm1111X/*" {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
      };

      or

      grant codeBase "file:/home/oracle/bpm1111X/*" {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
      };

   3. Save and close the file.
   4. Restart the P6 application server.
