Identificators of type 2064.25e13007-8539-43fb-81f2-b227ff50bbc3 in error’s messages in SystemOut.log. What do they mean and how to use them for a BPM troubleshooting?

In SystemOut.log you can get some errors with identificators of type 2064.25e13007-8539-43fb-81f2-b227ff50bbc3. For example, the error message:

How to recreate some deleted internal user in IBM BPM 7.5-8.0

In IBM BPM 7.5-8.0 internal users are stored in BPMDB.
If you delete some of them - the full information about it will not delete from the database and you can to recreate it.
The information about internal users are stored in two tables:lsw_usr_xref and lsw_usr

How to find out how many users are working in Process Portal at the given time (for 8.5 and later version)?

If you use IBM BPM version 8.5 and later, you can find out the number of users connected to Process Portal using the table BPM_USR_RUNTIME_PROPS.

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?

"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 install a stand-alone installation in IBM BPM 8.5/8.5.5 (Part 2)

I have already forgotten about this subject but I needed to install UTE for BPM 8.5.5
The standard installation Integration Designer was not suitable for me because it uses DB2.
I need Oracle.

IBM BPM 8.5.5. It's impossible to create users using ProcessAdmin console (Part 1)

You attempt to create user using ProcessAdmin console in 8.5.5.
You enter correct name and password but nothing.

2014. Moscow goes back to winter

Not having found a more smart targets, we decided to return the Winter Time. So in the night of 25/26.10 Moscow will set time upon hour ago.

It is very joyful news for any Russian sysadmins which always waiting for a possibility to work in the weekends. It is the sarcasm.

My quick way for WAS admins and others.

You need BPMConfig properties file for your 8.5 environment. What to do?

Tell you the truth, I don't use BPMConfig functionality for deploying of BPM 8.5 usually.
I don't like fill this big list of various settings, my eyes flounder in these small letters and so on.
I use old good PMT for this.
But, sometimes, the file of BPMConfig properties is needed.

There are a lot of situations for this. For example, you can start/stop your environment using only one command.
During a Deployment Environment creation the file bpmconfig-<DEName>-<datetime>.properties is created in the folder <WAS_ROOT>/logs/config. But, if you have deleted the file, what to do?

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.

How to add some user to some group in IBM BPM through DB

Sometimes you need to add some user to some group in BPM.
You can do this through admin console certainly.
But imagine that you have not any access to admin console.

How to change WAS profile name

I don't know where it can be used :) but for any case.

I have (for example) an WAS instance and some profiles in it and I want to change ProcCtr01 profile name to PCenter.

The report of using Process Designer

One man from DeveloperWorks forum asked the interesting question.
He needs create some report about using of PD. He want to know when some user used PD last time. He needs it for license control.

java.io.IOException: Async IO operation failed (1), reason: RC: 32 Broken pipe

Just for memory.

If you get this message on standalone WAS you need change this time-out for JVM: HttpInboundPersistReadTimeout

SPNEGO SSO in IBM BPM clustered environment

As you know, for Windows client Integrated Authentication in IBM WAS the mechanism called SPNEGO (The Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism) is used.
Our BPM users can access to portals without input of username and password, using their Windows account.  

I won't give a detail guide because the old guide you can find here
But there is not a way for clustered environments here what are used in productive most frequently.
I can fill this defect.
I describe the features for clusters.

Interactive script for IBM BPM offline installation of PAs (Import Part)

I continue the theme about automation of deploying of snapshots because some people interested in.
Here you can find the script for export.

Now I am publishing the shell script for importing of a snapshot for offline installation.

How to install a stand-alone installation in IBM BPM 8.5 (Part 1)

I use the environment Linux - Oracle in the main, but, I think, the same way in others environments.
