This document describes how to install and run WSO2 Business Process Server using binary distribution available for download. Binary Distribution includes binary files for both MS Windows and Linux operating systems as a zip file.
Java SE Development Kit |
1.6.x (For instructions on setting up the JDK on different operating
systems, visithttp://java.sun.com)
To build WSO2 Business Process Server from the Source distribution, it is necessary that you have JDK 1.6.x version and Maven 2.2.0 or later |
Web browser- To log-in to the BPS Management Console | Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome at a resolution of 1024x768 or higher is recommended. MS Internet Explorer 7 or 8 can be used as well, with some limitations. Once the WSO2 Business Process Server is started point the browser to https://localhost:9443/carbon you can access your Management Console. |
Memory | No minimum requirement - A heap size of 256~512MB is generally sufficient to process typical SOAP messages. Requirements may vary with larger message size and on the number of messages processed concurrently |
Disk | No minimum requirement. The installation will require ~150MB excluding space allocated for log files and Databases. |
Operating System | Linux, Solaris, MS Windows - XP/ Vista (Not fully tested on Windows Vista). As the WSO2 Business Process Server is a Java application, it will generally be possible to run it on other operating systems with a JDK 1.6.x runtime. Linux/Solaris is recommended for a production deployment. |
The following steps will take you through the installation for the MS Windows operating system.
All the WSO2 Carbon based products function as a collection of solution specific features included on top of WSO2 Carbon platform based on OSGi. So you can convert a WSO2 BPS to any other WSO2 Carbon product by including those specific features. Please refer the following documentation on how to install a feature via feature manager for a step by step guide.
Note:You can use http://dist.wso2.org/p2/carbon/releases/4.2.0 as the repository compatible with this version (3.1.0) of WSO2 Business Process Server
WSO2 Carbon Studio provides the tooling environment for users to model, deploy and execute the WS-BPEL processes. Latest WSO2 Carbon Studio documentation is available here. Please follow the installation guide in above documentation to install WSO2 Carbon Studio.
Java SE Development Kit | 1.6.x (For instructions on setting up the JDK in different operating systems, visit http://java.sun.com) |
Apache Maven- To build BPS from Source | To build the WSO2 Business Process Server from its source distribution, you will need Maven 3.0.3 or later |
Operating System | Linux, Solaris, MS Windows - XP/ Vista (Not fully tested on Windows Vista) |
Maven:
The WSO2 Business Process Server build is based onApache Maven 3. Hence, it is a prerequisite to have Maven (version 3.0.3 or later) and JDK (version 1.6.0_24 or later) installed in order to build WSO2 Business Process Server from the source distribution. Extensive instructions on using Maven 3 are available on the Maven website.
Please refer to the Maven Getting Started Guide for more information on Maven
Once Maven is properly installed, you can start building the WSO2 Business Process Server.
Command: mvn clean install
This will create the complete release artifacts including the binary and source distributions in the modules/distribution/target/ directory which can be installed using the above instructions.
Note: The first time you run Maven it will automatically download the dependent .jar files. Therefore, the first run will take more time.
Note: You can configure this via Management console as well.
