Moving IBM BPM Document Store into a separate DB schema

The task – move IBM BPM Document Store into a separate DB schema. This problem has two solutions:

1.    You can create properties file for the command BPMConfig and use it. But, if the environment has already been created, we cannot use BPMConfig because it does not permit to change all the parameters of Deployment Environment. We need to delete our Deployment Environment before.

2.     If you have already installed a new Deployment Environment, you can use this solution.

The disclaimer:
The solution is not recommended by IBM, it is hack and any actions you make on own risk!
The solution does not move the content of IBM BPM Document Store, it only creates a new one in the separate schema.

I prepared this solution for Oracle DB, but, I think, it can be used with some changes for other RDBMS.

How can I change the hostname in an already configured Business Process Manager environment? The way of real geek.

"The IT Crowd"

 
Undoubtedly, IBM support are good guys but they have not enough a fantasy, a flight of mind, an imagination. They are limited by official guides and reglaments.
Not so long ago they created a new portal named dwAnswers, and now they are inventing questions and answering themself on them.
Yesterday I saw a good question and the typical answer of IBM support. Let's look at it:

How to restrict an access for users for creating of new process applications

The disclaimer: This solution was not checked from all points of view, but I did not notice any problems with it. I will be glade to any remarks.

By default, all Process Designer users can create new process appplications and toolkits.
But sometimes we need to restrict this. IBM BPM hasn't such possibility at first glance.
Try to solve it.

Using BPM Human Services on IBM WebSphere Portal

IBM BPM 8 permits to use Human Services as portlets on IBM WebSphere Portal.

I have spent recently some time for learning this question because our last project will be use this feature.
I mean that your environments were installed and configured correctly, SSO exists between BPM and WS Portal.
