App Dev Cloud with JBoss BPM Suite Install Demo

This demo is to install JBoss BPM Suite in the Cloud based on leveraging any Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). It delivers a fully functioning JBoss BPM Suite containerized on OpenShift.

Install JBoss BPM Suite OpenShift

1. (OPTIONAL) First ensure you have an OpenShift container based installation, such as one of the followling installed first:

• OCP Install Demo

• Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK) using Minishift

• or your own OpenShift installation.

2. Download and unzip this demo.

3. Download JBoss EAP & JBoss BPM Suite, add to installs directory (see installs/README).

4. Run 'init.sh' or 'init.bat' file. 'init.bat' must be run with Administrative privileges:

   # The installation needs to be pointed to a running version
   # of OpenShift, so pass an IP address such as:
   #
   $ ./init.sh 192.168.99.100  # example for OCP.

Now log in to JBoss BPM Suite to start developing containerized BPM projects (the address will be generated by OCP):

• Find the exposed serivce (login to JBoss BPM Suite Business Central) by selecting the Project - Applications - Routes - Hostanme URL.

• OCP example: http://rhcs-bpms-install-demo-appdev-in-cloud.192.168.99.100.nip.io/business-central ( u:erics / p:bpmsuite1! )

Notes

Should your local network DNS not handle the resolution of the above address, giving you page not found errors, you can apply the following to your local hosts file:

$ sudo vi /etc/hosts

# add host for OCP demo resulution
192.168.99.100   rhcs-bpms-install-demo-appdev-in-cloud.192.168.99.100.nip.io 

---

If for any reason the installation breaks or you want a new JBoss BRMS installation, just remove the project rhcs-bpms-install-demo entry in the OpenShift console and re-run the installation.

---

To clone a repository in the running container, the following actions would need to occur from a developer's machine.

1. Execute port forwarding through the OpenShift CLI. This will open a tunnel between the developer's machine and the pod through the OpenShift API pod proxy. The command window will block while the session is open:

   # Read-write access to repo on port 8001.
   #
   $ oc port-forward $(oc get pod -l=deploymentconfig=rhcs-bpms-install-demo --template='{{ range .items }} {{ .metadata.name }} {{ end }}') 8001:8001
   

2. Clone the repository. In another window, clone the remote repository after logging in to Business Central, creating a repository and identifying the repository URL in the Admin Perspective (this example is a BackOffice repository):

   # Read-write access to repo on port 8001.
   #
   $ git clone git://localhost:8001/BackOffice
