Post Installation and Site specific customization
Due to the Flash object used in this application, a few resources can not be handled automatically by enPortal CRS rules. The following tasks need to be performed in order for icons in the flash applications ("360 degree View", "EUM Application Support 360 by BPM", and "EUM Application Status" views) to show up correctly.
Without the following manual modification steps, an ActionScript Error popup box might show up and tree navigation icons will not be displayed when a user accesses "360 degree View", "EUM Application Support 360 by BPM", and "EUM Application Status" views.
The following customizations are site-specific and require some customization work.
- Create a blank.html file in the /enportal context
- Use a text editor to create a file named blank.html in ${ApplicationHome}/server/enportal directory with the following content:
<html> <head> <title>blank html</title> </head> <body> </body> </html>
- Modify the runtime handler rule with the BPM's host and port and AppBoard's host and port:
- Identify the exact fully-qualified URLs for the following four images. This can be done by using an HTTP protocol analyzer, such as Fiddler or Wireshark, to capture the AMF messaging when accessing the "360 degree View", "EUM Application Support 360 by BPM", and "EUM Application Status" views.
- <ApplicationProtocol>://<ApplicationHost>:<ApplicationPort>/odb/icons/logical_application/logical_application_16.gif
e.g. http://myservername.com:80/odb/icons/logical_application/logical_application_16.gif - <ApplicationProtocol>://<ApplicationHost>:<ApplicationPort>/odb/icons/business_transaction_flow/business_transaction_flow_16.gif
- <ApplicationProtocol>://<ApplicationHost>:<ApplicationPort>/odb/icons/business_transaction/business_transaction_16.gif
- <ApplicationProtocol>://<ApplicationHost>:<ApplicationPort>/odb/icons/logical_group/logical_group_16.gif
- <ApplicationProtocol>://<ApplicationHost>:<ApplicationPort>/odb/icons/logical_application/logical_application_16.gif
- Identify AppBoard's protocol, host, and port information.
- Use a text editor to open handlers.xml in the ${ApplicationHome}/server/enportal/webapps/enportal/WEB-INF/xmlroot/server/crs/runtimehandlers/hp/bac/bpm_pimB directory.
- Locate the <ContentProcess id="adjustAMFStream"> rule block in the file.
- Replace the four CRS stream replacement rules in the <ContentProcess id="adjustAMFStream"> rule block with the obtained information in the previous steps. Adjust the padding 'x' character to make the replaceValue's string length match exactly the matchText's string length.
- Identify the exact fully-qualified URLs for the following four images. This can be done by using an HTTP protocol analyzer, such as Fiddler or Wireshark, to capture the AMF messaging when accessing the "360 degree View", "EUM Application Support 360 by BPM", and "EUM Application Status" views.
Integration Details
This sections provides special details for configuring the integration module after installation.
Channel Types
- Home - Channel that displays the entry page for BPM

Known Issues
Apart from requiring to do site specific customization, there are no known issues associated with this PIM.
License Usage
In order for the AppBoard/enPortal administrator to configure the hp.bac.bpm_pimB PIM, the AppBoard/enPortal license.properties file must include licensing for at least one hp.bac.bpm_pimB server. The administrator can create one additional host ("target") in AppBoard/enPortal for each server license included in the license file.
Each AppBoard/enPortal user maintains one user session with the BPM server. The BPM application must be licensed to support the number of users that will be accessing the application through AppBoard/enPortal.
