Starting and Stopping the Business Process Center

Usage

To start the Business Process Center (BPC)

The Business Process Center consists of the following modules:

  • BPC Analysis (frontend and backend)

  • BPC Core (frontend and backend)

  • BPC Dashboard (frontend and backend)

  • BPC Documentation (frontend and backend)

  • BPC Interaction (frontend and backend)

  • BPC INUBIT Monitoring (frontend and backend)

  • BPC INUBIT WebApp (frontend and backend)

  • BPC License (backend)

  • BPC Monitor (frontend and backend)

If you have installed INUBIT and BPC together or INUBIT alone, these modules are available in the following directory:

<inubit-installdir>/inubit/portal/bpc_modules/

If you have installed BPC alone, these modules are available in the following directory:

<bpc_installdir>/bpc/bpc_modules

These modules can be used in BPC by deploying them to Apache Karaf.

Prerequisites

  • You have chosen one of the installation sets containing the Business Process Center.

  • During the Custom installation, you have activated the Java Runtime Environment option to use the delivered AdoptOpenJDK installation.

  • Alternatively, you have installed a supported JDK version, and you have set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the JDK directory.

Proceed as follows

  1. Start Elasticsearch using the <bpc_installdir>/bpc/<Elasticsearch-dir>/bin/elasticsearch script being appropriate for your operating system.

  2. Wait until Elasticsearch is started successfully and in the console window the host name followed by started is displayed.

  3. Start Karaf using the <bpc_installdir>/bpc/<karaf-dir>/bin/karaf script being appropriate for your operating system.

  4. Copy the required modules (frontend bpc-fe-.war and backend bpc-be-.jar) from the bpc_modules directory to the <bpc_installdir>/bpc/<karaf-dir>/deploy directory.

    The bpc-be-license.jar license file is only a limited one and should only be used until you have received the license corresponding to your environment.

  5. Wait until all the modules are deployed successfully. For this purpose, in the console window, type list command and press [Enter]. If all modules are in the Active state, BPC is started successfully.

  6. To stop Karaf, type the halt or logout command in the Karaf console window and press [Enter].

    → Once the window is closed, Karaf is stopped.

  7. To stop Elasticsearch, press [Ctrl]-C in the Elasticsearch console window.

    → The following question is displayed: Terminate batch job (Y/N)?

  8. To stop Elasticsearch finally, type y and press [Enter].

    → Once the window is closed, Elasticsearch is stopped.
