Installing BP Server applications

To install one or more BP Server applications:
1. In the Administration module, click Applications > BP Server.
The BP Server Application page displays current BP Server applications, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Installing BP Server applications
2. Select a status from the Status drop-down list and click Go.
This displays the applications having the selected status.
The BP Server Applications page contains the following information about each application:
*Status, indicating the current status of the application. Options include All, Installed, Uninstalled, Suspended, Resumed, Published, Unpublished or Deprecated.
*Process Template Name, or the name assigned by the developer when defining the process template in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
*Label, or the name users see in Business Process Portal. The developer defines this name as the Label when designing the process template in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
*Rule, indicating whether the application includes rules (Yes) or has none (No). If BPM Events is not running, then Business Process Server allows you to install or uninstall applications without rules, but BPM Events must be running if you want to install/uninstall applications that contain rules.
*Application Name, the name of the application. Business Process Server supports versioning for applications, where a new version can be installed on an existing application. In the case of a versioned application, this displays the name of the application of which the current process template is a version.
*Description, providing a brief description of the application. If required, then you can define the description as a text link to a lengthier, more detailed description.
*Migrate ACL, select this check box, if the permissions created for other versions of this application must be migrated to the current version of the application.
3. Select the BP Server application you must install from the list, and click Install.
The selected application is installed.
You select a parent name when you install a new version over an existing version. For example, installing new template, Hiring-2 over an existing template, Hiring-1.
Note: You may also install and uninstall applications in Business Process Portal. For more information, see the Business Process Portal Administrator’s Guide.
