Chapter 6 Adding an Additional ActiveMatrix BPM System to an Existing ActiveMatrix Enterprise

Overview

Multiple BPM systems (version 2.2 or later) can be installed in the same

ActiveMatrix enterprise, administered by the same ActiveMatrix Administrator server (version 3.3 or later).

Figure 5 shows a simple example in which a development BPM system and a production BPM system are installed in the same ActiveMatrix enterprise. Note the following points about this example.

Every BPM system in an ActiveMatrix enterprise must already be at version 2.2 (or later) before you add another BPM system to that enterprise.

You must upgrade any existing pre-version 2.2 BPM system in the enterprise to version 2.2 before adding an additional BPM system.

In this example... In general, in the same ActiveMatrix Enterprise...

Development and production BPM systems are both managed by the same ActiveMatrix Administrator server.

Each ActiveMatrix host that hosts (any part of) a BPM system must be bound to the same ActiveMatrix Administrator server.

Development and production BPM systems are hosted on separate physical machines.

Multiple BPM systems can be hosted on the same physical machine.

Development and production BPM systems both use the basic architecture (although ActiveMatrix Administrator is hosted separately).

Multiple BPM systems can use different (basic or distributed) architectures as required.

Development and production BPM systems are hosted on separate ActiveMatrix Host instances.

TIBCO recommend that:

• each discrete BPM system is hosted on its own set of TIBCO Host instances.

• ActiveMatrix Administrator is hosted on its own set of TIBCO Host instances.

Development and production BPM systems use different ActiveMatrix environments.

Multiple BPM systems can either share the same ActiveMatrix environment or use different ActiveMatrix environments:

• A shared environment allows each BPM system to access shared services, using service virtualization.

• Using separate environments allows each BPM system to be completely isolated from other BPM systems.

Development and production BPM systems are hosted on separate ActiveMatrix nodes.

Each BPM system must be hosted on a separate set of ActiveMatrix nodes.

The BPM application in the Development system is called BPM_Dev_App.

The BPM application in the Production system is called BPM_Prod_App.

Each instance of a BPM application in the same environment must have a unique name.

Development and production BPM databases are hosted on the same database server.

Multiple BPM systems can use different database servers, and different types of database. (For example, one system may use Oracle, another SQL Server.)

The same LDAP and SMTP servers are used by both BPM systems.

Multiple BPM systems can either use the same or separate LDAP or SMTP servers.

The same EMS server is used by both BPM systems.

BPM systems that share the same ActiveMatrix environment must use the same EMS server.

BPM systems in different ActiveMatrix environments can use different EMS servers.

The starting point for this procedure assumes that a (version 2.2) development BPM system, has already been installed, and that the ActiveMatrix Administrator server has been separately created. (See Creating an ActiveMatrix Administrator Server (Single or Replicated).)

In this example... In general, in the same ActiveMatrix Enterprise...

Task 2: Production Machine - Install ActiveMatrix BPM Software

1. Log on to the Production machine.

2. Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller to install ActiveMatrix BPM software. (See Installing ActiveMatrix BPM Software (TIBCO Universal Installer).)

3. Make sure that you complete the following screens/fields as shown.

Screen Requirement

Installation Profile Selection

Select the Remote machine profile.

TIBCO Installation Home

Select Create a new TIBCO_HOME.

Post-Install summary Select Launch TIBCO Configuration Tool.

⁸¹

Task 3: Production Machine - Configure JDBC Drivers

1. Make sure that the jar files for the required JDBC drivers are available on the production machine. (See JDBC Drivers on page 24.)

2. In TIBCO Configuration Tool, enter a local location for the TIBCO configuration folder (CONFIG_HOME), or click OK to use the default location.

3. In the Create new configurations screen, run the Configure Third-Party Driver Wizard.

4. Configure the JDBC driver needed for the database server that will be used to host the ActiveMatrix BPM database for the production BPM system. This must be one of the following drivers:

— TIBCO enabled JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server 3.0 or 4.0

— TIBCO enabled JDBC driver for Oracle 11.1.0

— TIBCO enabled JDBC driver for IBM DB2 4.12.55

5. Return to the Create new configurations screen, but do not close TIBCO Configuration Tool.

You can skip this task if the machine on which you want to install the new BPM system already contains the appropriate configured JDBC driver.

Task 4: Production Machine - Create a Host Instance

1. In TIBCO Configuration Tool, choose the Create TIBCO Host Instance Wizard.

2. Make sure that you complete the following screens/fields as shown.

TIBCO Configuration Tool creates the specified TIBCO host instance (if it does not already exist), binding it to the ActiveMatrix Administrator server.

For example, in Figure 5, BPM_Prod_Host is created on the Production machine and bound to the ActiveMatrix Administrator server.

Screen Requirement

TIBCO Host instance

Configuration: Details 1. Enter a unique Name for this TIBCO Host instance.

2. Enter the ActiveMatrix Enterprise Name.

TIBCO Host instance Configuration:

Administrator Server

1. Select Bind to Administrator server.

2. Enter the Machine Name on which the ActiveMatrix Administrator server is running.

TIBCO Host instance Configuration:

Administrator Server

Select:

• Create TIBCO Host instance

• Launch TIBCO Host instance

• Register TIBCO Host instance to the Administrator server
