Configuring P6 to Connect to Oracle BPM 11g

Contents

To connect P6 and BPM 11g:

1. Open the P6 Administrator application.
2. In the Configurations tab, expand your configuration.
3. Expand Database/Instance[n]/BPM Settings.
4. In the Connector file location field, enter the full path (including the file name) where you copied the connector files.

   For example:

   c:/oracle/bpm1111x/eppmjars/prm-bpm-connector-11.1.1.x-v1.0.jar or /home/oracle/bpm1111x/prm-bpm-connector-11.1.1.x-v1.0.jar

5. In the BPM library path field, enter the path of the directory where you copied all the 11g jars.

   Note: If the above settings are incorrect or the BPM jar files are incomplete, you will be prompted with an error message when you try to configure the BPM. Verify that your settings and jar files are correct.

6. Right-click BPM Configuration, then select Configure to set options from the dialog box. If you receive an error message, check your values from the previous steps in this section.
7. To configure P6 to use BPM 11g, add the following settings:

   Caution: Do not put a forward slash / at the end of the URL. For example, it should read only http://host:port, and not http://host:port/.

   1. In the bpm.user field, enter the BPM 11g user with administrative access to BPM.
   2. In the bpm.password field, enter the password for the user.
   3. In the bpm.t3.url field, enter the T3 URL for your configuration. For example: t3://host:port/soa-infra
   4. In the bpm.security.realm field, enter the name of the security realm used by BPM. This is jazn.com by default.
   5. In the bpm.soap.url field, enter the URL for the SOAP services. Usually this URL takes the form of http://host:port.
   6. In the bpm.workspace.url field, enter an address in the form of http://host:port that indicates where the BPM Workspace application is hosted.

      Note: The host can be an IP address or a host name such as a machine name. For WebSphere, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdoc400/v6r0/index.jsp.

   7. In the bpm.partition field, enter the name of the SOA partition containing the BPM composite applications you would like to use in P6. The default partition name is default.
8. Click OK and save changes. When the configuration is complete, you will see a BPM properties have been configured message.
9. Restart the P6 application server.
