Creating a Default Environment

You must create an environment for your Serena Development Control process application unless you are promoting it into an existing environment. If you wish to use an existing environment, you can skip this section.

After you create the environment, you must set up a BPEL engine and SBM event manager for that environment.

To create the default environment:

  1. From the SBM Application Administrator navigation pane, click Environments.

  2. Click New above the list.

    The New Environment dialog appears.

    1. Enter a name and description.

    2. For Composer, select Enable Deployment.

    3. Under Application Engine Server, enter a name and description.

    4. In the URL, change the server to localhost and specify the port number for the server. For example:

    http://localhost:80/gsoap/gsoap_ssl.dll?sbminternalservices72

  4. Click Test Connection to test the connection.

  5. Click OK to save the environment.

To set up the target servers, the BPEL engine and the event manager:

  1. Select the new default environment and then select the Target Servers tab.

  2. Click New.

  3. The New Target Server dialog appears.

  4. Fill out the form as follows:

    1. In the Type field, select BPEL Server (JBPM).

    2. Name the server, for example: DVM BPEL Server.

    3. Enter the URL using localhost as the hostname.

      Port 8085 is the default, unless you specified a different port in the Configurator for your JBOSS server.
