They also provide reference information for screen. What is the ALBPM Configuration Wizard? The ALBM Configuration Wizard provides a simple way of configuring ALBPM Enterprise. The Configuration Wizard lets you choose between the following: Whether you want to create a new directory provider database or use an existing one. If you choose to create a new database, you can determine one of the following: The Configuration Wizard adds a new database for you. The Configuration Wizard generates SQL scripts that can be run by your DBA. Whehter to create a new ALBPM Process Execution Engine database or use an existing one. If you choose to create a new database, you can determine one of the following: The Configuration Wizard adds a new database for you. The Configuration Wizard generates SQL scripts that can be run by your DBA. Whether to Publish and Deploy a sample project. Whether to use a single ALBPM database or a combination database and external directory provider. After you have created a clustered WLS domain, you can use the ALBPM Configuration Wizard to perform the following: Create the ALBPM Directory database Create the ALBPM Process Execution Engine database Create the ALBPM web application EAR files Create a JDBC data source Create a JMS server and queue Deploy the ALBPM web applications to a server Running the ALBPM Configuration Wizard The following procedures show you how to use the Configuration Wizard. The exact path depends on the options you choose. 1. Determine what tasks you want the configuration Wizard to perform. This allows you to define the tasks performed. See Configuration Wizard Tasks on page Determine if you want to use a database only or a hybrid. See Directory Provider Type on page Enter information about your directory provider type. See Directory Provider Selection on page 9. If you have chosen to implement the 4. Enter connectivity information about your database.

ALBPM Configuration Wizard Reference The following topics provide detailed information for each page of the Configuration Wizard Configuration Wizard Tasks This page allows you to specify the tasks performed by the Configuration Wizard. These tasks can be groups according to the following: Configure the ALBPM Directory Service Database. Configure the ALBPM Process Engine Database. You can determine which of these the Configuration Wizard performs by selecting from the following options: Create Directory Service Use Existing Directory Service Allows you to create a new ALBPM Directory Service Allows you to use an existing ALBPM Directory Service. Note: If you choose to use an existing directory service, it must be created using the current version of AquaLogic BPM. Generate DIrectory Service SQL Script only Generates a SQL script that can be used to configure the database server and schema. Use this option if you do not have DBA permissions on the database. The generated scripts can be used by your DBA. Create Process Engine Generate Process Engine SQL Script only Allows you to create the Process Execution Engine database using the Configuration Wizard. Generates a SQL script that can be used to configure the database server and schema. Use this option if you do not have DBA permissions on the database. The generated scripts can be used by your DBA.
