• A new lightweight Federation Process Server provides

a single point of access to process instance data via:

– System API

– Responsive Process Portal user interface

• Tasks can be federated across :

• Multiple BPM cells or deployment environments

• Multiple BPM releases

• Multiple types of tasks (BPMN, BPEL, Custom)

• Key value

• Participants can have a single task list to work on tasks spanning multiple systems

– Allows to scale BPM platform with no performance impact

• Facilitates drain-down migration scenarios

– Complete N-1 BPM version process instances while staring new instances with current versions

• Facilitates a single task list across BPEL and BPMN and other processes platforms

– No need to login to different portals to work with tasks running on different servers

• Allows to leverage exiting BPEL/WPS investment

• Enables use of mobile devices to work with tasks when used with Responsive Process

Portal

25

Process Federation Server Architecture

• One or more HTTP servers and/or authorization services In front of

HTTP Process Federation Server

• Followed by a cluster of different BPM servers of different 8.x versions

• Supported older BPM versions: 8.0.1.3, 8.5.0.1, 8.5.5 (require ifix)

• This configuration simplifies browser interaction

• e.g. single SSL cert, authorization service, no Cross Origin Resource

Configure BPM & Process Federation Server (PFS)

1. Configure BPM Server

• Apply IFIX on 8.0.1.3, 8.5.0.1, 8.5.5

• Database

– Create PFS tables in BPMDB (tables are

shipped with PFS)

• Security

– Export LTPA key for PFS or import PFS LTPA

key.

• Event point enablement

– 100 Custom.xml –

<federated-index-enabled

merge="replace">true</federated-index-enabled>

2. Configure Process Federation Server (edit

server.xml)

• Add BPD features (configured in server.xml

template by default)

• Configure PFS to federate BPM server’s

LDAP server.

• Import BPM certificates if BPM REST

endpoints are configured to use HTTPS

• Configure LTPA for single sign on

• Configure server.xml template stanzas for

Generic and App Specific IBM BPM Adapters

Provides generic access to BPM REST APIs. Provides support for all methods and all

parameters. For example: startProcess() with parameters to specify the details. Name:

IBM_BPM.

Provides and abstraction layer that hides the BPM related details. Specific to a given

process application. It delegates generic REST calls to the Generic Adapter. For example:

startCreateOrderProcess() with no parameters. Name: XXXX (Process App Acronym)

• Prior to v8.5.6 process administrators had no visibility in Process Admin

Console to instances with a straight through execution path

• Only process instances that have a Human Service task on the current

path were visible

• As a result there was no way to gain visibility, repair or administer

“Happy Path” straight through process instances

Straight Through Instances in Process Inspector

This ”Happy Path” process

instance, prior to V8.5.6,

was not visible in Process

Admin Console

48

• A straight through process instance with exception path is now visible,

Improved Snapshot Deployment Failure Diagnostics

• Prior to v8.5.6 Snapshot deployment failures were difficult to diagnose

• When errors occur the reason was not reported

• Users were instructed to inspect sever logs of the various servers to

determine where the error occurred

• In v8.5.6 Snapshot deployment error messages provide show failed

step and provide recovery information so that the user can determine

where the error occurred and how to fix it.

• Error shown in Process Center Console for connected Server deployment

• For scripted or disconnected deployment new wsadmin command

BPMShowInstallMessages to show all deployment messages

V8.5.5 deployment error…

No error details!

52

Process Performance Alerts

• Prior to v8.5.6 it was possible to find in Process Admin Console

(Monitoring) process runtime issues but the search for runtime

issues was manual

• v8.5.6 introduces automated alert notifications

• Using Process Admin Console users can

create alert definitions that trigger alerts

when the number of process instances or

tasks go beyond a specified threshold.

• JS and REST APIs are available to create

applications to capture and display these

alerts

BPMAlertDefinition[] getAlertDefinitions(String[] categoryFilter, Boolean checkAuthorization)

BPMAlertDefinitionStatusResponse getAlertDefinitionsStatus(String[] ids, Boolean checkAuthorization)

/rest/bpm/wle/v1/system/alertDefinitions[?categories={category1,category2,...}]

Stop a Process Application Snapshot

• Prior to v8.5.6 there was no simple way to stop a run-away processes

that were causing disruption of the runtime environment hosting other

mission critical process applications

• In v8.5.6 new commands and tools support was added to stop, repair

and resume run-way processes in a Process App:

• Added to BPMDeactivate command -suspendAllBPDInstances

parameter to suspend all instances in the deactivated snapshot

– New instances cannot be started

• Added additional state “Inactive with Suspended Instances” in

Process Center and Process Admin Console

• New BPMProcessInstancesResumption command to

– List all suspended instances, or

– Resume suspended instances (by specifying the number of instances to

restart)

56

Suspend Process App and All its Instances

Run BPMDeactivate

command to deactivate the

Process App

Suspend all running instances

New status: “Inactive with

suspended instances”5 suspended

5 active instances

57

Repair, Activate and Resume

New status:

All running instances

are now suspended

Use these admin

commands to

diagnose failure and

repair the failed

instances

Once all repairs are

completed… Resume

58

Emergency Repair System (ERS) Capabilities

• ERS is used to recover from catastrophic system failures when:

• Application cluster members go down and can‘t be started again

• Database Server and DB are available and work properly

• ERS provides the means to conduct an administrative investigation and

repair of DB backed resources such as process instances

• This is only necessary to get the system into a state that allows

successful start of the other servers again

• It is not intended to start new processes or continue processing

existing instances

• BPM Process Inspector and wsadmin commands are available

• It does not drive or alter or change transactional recovery or peer

recovery (this is already handled by other parts of the system)

• Steps to setup ERS are described in info center documentation

• Use IBM Integration Designer 8xx to import and migrate the application binaries to get it working on the latest BPM level

• Use migrated application to start new instances

• Use “drain” approach for inflight 602 and 601x instances

Use External FileNet Content Management Server

• BPM can be configured to use external FileNet Content Manager as an

alternative to the Embedded FileNet Content Manager

• It can be used instead for

• Case related contents (documents in Case Folder)

• Process-related content (i.e. Used in Document List Coach View)

Installation and Configuration Considerations

• The minimum supported version for both embedded and external ECM

is 5.2.1

• Configuring BPM to use ECM server

• Can only be done after BPM is installed

• This will uninstall embedded ECM server

• Cannot switch back to using an external ECM server

• Three configuration options available

1. Create new Object Store on an existing external ECM Server

2. Reassign the Object Store of the internal content repository to a new

external ECM Server

3. Reassign the Domain and Object Store of the internal content repository

to a new external ECM Server installation

69

• Reassign the Domain and Object Store of the internal content

repository to a new external FileNet Content Manager installation.

• Install command:
