Deploying IBM Business Automation Workflow 18.0.0.1

Another aide memoire for me, et al , as I know I'll need this again before too long ….

Environment

VMware Fusion ( macOS 10 )

50 GB disk ( allocated to / file-system )
8 GB RAM
4 cores

Hostname

workflow.uk.ibm.com

Disable/Stop Firewall

systemctl disable firewalld
systemctl stop firewalld

Disable SELinux

sed -i'' 's/SELINUX\=enforcing/SELINUX\=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config

Set Ulimits etc.

vi /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf

# - nofile - max number of open files
wasadmin   soft    nofile  65536
wasadmin   hard    nofile  65536

# - nproc - max number of processes
wasadmin   soft    nproc   16384
wasadmin   hard    nproc   16384

vi /etc/security/limits.conf

* hard nofile 10240
* soft nofile 10240

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

fs.file-max = 524288

Create Groups and Users

groupadd db2iadm1
useradd -g db2iadm1 -d /home/db2inst1 db2inst1
echo "passw0rd" | passwd db2inst1 --stdin

groupadd db2users
useradd -g db2users -d /home/db2user1 db2user1
echo "passw0rd" | passwd db2user1 --stdin

groupadd db2fadm1
useradd -g db2fadm1 -d /home/db2fenc1 db2fenc1
echo "passw0rd" | passwd db2fenc1 --stdin

groupadd dasadm1
useradd -g dasadm1 -d /home/dasusr1 dasusr1
echo "passw0rd" | passwd dasusr1 --stdin

groupadd wasadmins
useradd -g wasadmins -d /home/wasadmin wasadmin
echo "passw0rd" | passwd wasadmin --stdin

Create File Systems

mkdir /opt/ibm
mkdir /opt/ibm/InstallationManager
mkdir /opt/ibm/IMShared
mkdir /opt/ibm/WebSphere
mkdir /opt/ibm/HTTPServer

chown -R wasadmin:wasadmins /opt/ibm/InstallationManager
chown -R wasadmin:wasadmins /opt/ibm/IMShared
chown -R wasadmin:wasadmins /opt/ibm/WebSphere
chown -R wasadmin:wasadmins /opt/ibm/HTTPServer

Mount VMware Shared Folder

vmhgfs-fuse -o allow_other .host:/Repo /mnt

Install DB2

/mnt/DB2/Product/server/db2setup -r /mnt/ResponseFiles/db2server111.rsp

Install Fixpack

/mnt/DB2/Fixpack/universal/installFixPack -n -b /opt/ibm/db2/V11.1/

Create DAS

/opt/ibm/db2/V11.1/instance/dascrt -u dasusr1

Create Instance

/opt/ibm/db2/V11.1/instance/db2icrt -a SERVER -u db2fenc1 db2inst1

Setup Services file ( note, need to edit to remove port 50000 )

sed -i'' 's/50000/60006/g' /etc/services

Set Instance to use TCP/IP, autostart etc.

su - db2inst1
db2 update database manager configuration using svcename db2c_db2inst1
db2set DB2COMM=tcpip
db2set DB2AUTOSTART=YES
db2start
exit

Set Instance to Auto Start post-reboot

/opt/ibm/db2/V11.1/bin/db2fm -i db2inst1 -f on

Validate Listener is running

netstat -aon | grep LISTEN | grep 600

...

Did you have to separately install Case Manager or was it part of DAW 18.0.0.1 packega?

Morning Rahul

As far as I am aware, Case Manager was installed as part of the BAW installation. I certainly didn't install any additional components.

The BAW announcement would seem to confirm this: -

...
IBM Business Automation Workflow combines IBM Business Process Manager and IBM Case Manager in one workflow solution.
...

IBM Business Automation Workflow Version 18.0

Hi Mahesh

Thanks for your comment.

I've not worked with BAW etc. since I changed jobs at the beginning of 2019, moving into K8s development.

Therefore, I'm not best placed to support you here.

Please work with your local IBM team, and/or raise a support ticket - https://www.ibm.com/support/home/

Cheers, and good luck, Dave
