Reference on page 35.

On Machine 2 or 3

Install a fully operational TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM server. To do this:

1. Install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM using the Install BPM, Administrator &

TIBCO Host profile, see Running the TIBCO Configuration Tool on page 97.

2. Using TIBCO Configuration Tool:

a. Run the Create TIBCO Host Instance wizard to create a TIBCO Host. See

Create TIBCO Host Instance Wizard Reference on page 30. From the

TIBCO Host Instance Configuration: Administrator Server dialog, select

Bind this TIBCO Host instance with an existing Administrator server

box and enter the details of TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator server that

you created on machine 1.

b. Run the Configure Third-Party Driver wizard to register the JDBC drivers

for your BPM database. See Configure Third-Party Driver Wizard

Reference on page 29.

c. Run the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server wizard. See Create

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server Reference on page 145.

—From the Administrator Server Configuration: Details dialog, in the

Server Name: box, select Use existing ActiveMatrix Administrator

If you wish to enable secure sockets layer (SSL) for the communication

channels on the HTTP connector used by TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, select

Configure to Secure All Communication with SSL option when running the

wizards in the TIBCO Configuration Tool before creating the second BPM

node. The other BPM nodes then inherit the SSL configuration.

Note that the certificate that is provided in the "out-of-the-box" configuration

(which has not been signed by a Certificate Authority (CA)) cannot be used in

a high availability environment as it will not be accessible from both

machines.

Ideally, you will install/provision your own CA signed certificate. See TIBCO

ActiveMatrix BPM Administration guide for more information.
