Before using Business Process Server Web Services, make sure the Business Process Server is started. Refer to Business Process Portal Administrator’s Guide for more information on starting all the servers.
To install Business Process Server applications as Web services, you must be granted permission to access the Administration Module and install applications. For more information, refer to Business Process Portal Administrator’s Guide.
Assuming you have the proper permissions, open the Administration module in the Business Process Portal. The Business Process Portal is a cross-over and component mapping feature that allows you to access all components and features of Business Process Server to which you are granted authorization. With Business Process Portal, you do not have to log in to each of the modules separately
To navigate to the Administration component, perform the following:
1. After starting the servers, do any one of the following:
For Windows platform, from the Start menu choose All Programs > Progress > OpenEdge > BP Server > Admin Consoles > Portal Console if you are using the installation machine.
Otherwise enter http://machine_name.domain.com:port_number/sbm/bpmportal/login.jsp in your browser if you are accessing the Administration component from a client.
For Unix platform, enter http://machine_name.domain.com:port_number/sbm/bpmportal/login.jsp into your browser.
Note: Be sure to set the UNIX environment variables required by Business Process Server before starting any Business Process Server component. For more information refer to the OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration Guide
2. The Login page appears, as shown in the figure below.

Select the BP Server submenu item if you want to publish a BP Server application as a Web service
Select BPM Workflow to publish a Web application as a Web service.
Business Process Server automatically authenticates your user name and password and displays the BP Server Applications page or the BPM Workflow Applications page, depending on the selection you made in the previous step.
Note: With the addition of the Access Control Management feature, an error message appears if you are not granted permission to use this or any other resource.
For Windows platform, from the Start menu choose > > > > > if you are using the installation machine.
