Use this page to configure Business Space
on a server or cluster. Business Space is a common interface for application
users to create, manage, and integrate Web interfaces across the IBM® Business
Process Management portfolio.
To view this administrative console page, click one of the following:
For servers: Click .
For clusters: Click .
Note: If Business Space has already been configured on the server
or cluster, you can view this page, but you cannot edit the fields.
Note: Before you begin
You must have completed the
following steps before using the
Business Space Configuration page.
- For IBM Business Process Manager runtime environments
that need the Managing Tasks and Workflows widgets, configure Business
Process Choreographer. For more information, see "Configuring Business
Process Choreographer" in the IBM Business Process Manager documentation.
- Configure Representational State Transfer (REST) service endpoints.
If you have a stand-alone server environment or you are using the
Deployment Environment wizard to configure your runtime environment,
the REST service endpoints are configured and enabled automatically.
For other environments, use the REST Services administrative console
page to configure the REST service endpoints. If you want widgets
to be available in Business Space, you must configure the REST service
endpoints for those widgets. For the widgets to be available in Business
Space and appear in the palette for use, you must register the REST
service endpoints needed by the widgets using REST service endpoint
registration administrative console page.
- If you want to configure Business Space on a server or cluster
using a different data source than the product data source: Create
the data source in the server or cluster scope with the correct JNDI
name of jdbc/mashupDS first.
- For Oracle, to use a different schema for the Business Space tables
than the one used by the product database, complete the following
steps to create a data source manually before you open the Business
Space Configuration page:
- Create the schema using the database product software.
- Use the administrative console to configure the JDBC provider.
- Use the administrative console to create a data
source with the JNDI name of jdbc/mashupDS at the server or cluster
scope, depending on your environment.
Note: Before you begin using Business Space, you must complete
additional steps:
- Run a script to create tables in the database. The scripts were
generated when you completed the configuration. By default, the scripts
are located in the following directory for a stand-alone server: profile_root/dbscripts/BusinessSpace/node_name_server_name/database_product_name/database_name or
in the following directory for a cluster: profile_root/dbscripts/BusinessSpace/cluster_name/database_product_name/database_name.
- Register the endpoints for widgets to appear
properly in Business Space. On this page, you can click the REST
service endpoint registration link to designate which
server or cluster target you want to register to the REST endpoints
that are configured and enabled on your system. Or, you can use the registerRESTServiceEndpoint command.
- Set up security that you need to use with Business Space and the
widgets your team is using.
