Chapter 46. Installing and running KIE Server with IBM WebSphere Application Server After you have configured all required system properties in IBM WebSphere Application Server, you can install KIE Server with IBM WebSphere to streamline Red Hat Decision Manager application management. Prerequisites An IBM WebSphere Application Server instance is configured as described in Chapter 45, Configuring IBM WebSphere Application Server for KIE Server . Procedure Navigate to the Software Downloads page in the Red Hat Customer Portal (login required), and select the product and version from the drop-down options: Product: Process Automation Manager Version: 7.13.5 Download Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.13.5 KIE Server for All Supported EE7 Containers . Extract the rhpam-7.13.5-kie-server-ee7.zip archive to a temporary directory. In the following examples this directory is called TEMP_DIR . Repackage the kie-server.war directory: Navigate to the TEMP_DIR /rhpam-7.13.5-kie-server-ee7/kie-server.war directory. Select the contents of the TEMP_DIR /rhpam-7.13.5-kie-server-ee7/kie-server.war directory and create the kie-server.zip file. Rename kie-server.zip to kie-server.war . This is the file that you will use to deploy KIE Server. Optional: Copy the new kie-server.war file to a location that is more convenient to deploy from. In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, navigate to Applications Application Types WebSphere Enterprise Applications . Click InstCll . Navigate to the kie-server.war file that you repackaged and select it to upload. Select Fast Path and click . The Install New Application wizard opens. Change the Application Name to kie-server and click . Map the KIE Server modules to servers according to your specific requirements and click . For Bind Listeners for Message-Driven Beans , select Activation Specification for both beans, enter jms/activation/KIE.SERVER.REQUEST in the Target Resource JNDI Name field, and enter the jms/cf/KIE.SERVER.REQUEST JNDI name for the KIE.SERVER.REQUEST connection factory. In the Map Virtual Hosts for Web Modules section, keep the default values and click . Set the context root to kie-server . In the Metadata for Modules section, keep the default values and click . Click Finish to install KIE Server and click Save to save the changes to the primary configuration. 46.1. Creating the KIE Server group and role After KIE Server is installed, you must create the kie-server group and a user. Prerequisites KIE Server is installed on the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance. Procedure In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, click Users and Groups Manage Groups . In the Manage Groups screen, click Create . In the Create a Group screen, enter kie-server in the Group name box, then click Create . To create a user to add to the kie-server group, click Users and Groups Manage Users . In the Create a User screen, complete the required information. Click Group Membership .

Mapping the KIE Server group and role After KIE Server is installed, you must map the kie-server role to the kie-server group in the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console to run KIE Server. Prerequisites KIE Server is installed on the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance. IBM WebSphere Application Server has the kie-server group with at least one user. Procedure In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, navigate to Applications Application Types WebSphere Enterprise Applications and select the newly installed kie-server application. Under Detail Properties , click Security Role to User/Group Mapping . Select the kie-server role and click Map Groups to search for the kie-server group. Move the kie-server group from the Available list to the Selected list and click OK . This mapping gives users in the IBM WebSphere Application Server kie-server group access to KIE Server. Click Save to complete the mapping. 46.3. Configuring class loading for KIE Server After KIE Server is installed, you must configure class loading to set parent classes to load last. Procedure Navigate to Applications Application Types WebSphere Enterprise Applications and click kie-server . Click Class Loading and Update Detection under the Detail Properties heading on the left. In the properties, change Class Loader Order to Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last) and WAR Class Loader Policy to Single class loader for application . Save the changes to the primary configuration. 46.4. Verifying the installation After you install KIE Server and define the KIE Server group mapping, verify that the server is running. Prerequisites KIE Server is installed on the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance. You have set all required system properties for the headless Process Automation Manager controller. You have defined the KIE Server group mapping in IBM WebSphere Application Server. Procedure To verify that the server is running, complete one of the following tasks: Navigate to the KIE Server URL http://<HOST>:<PORT>/kie-server . Send a GET request to http://<HOST>:<PORT>/kie-server/services/rest/server to check whether the KIE Server REST API responds. In these examples, replace the following placeholders: <HOST> is the ID or name of the headless Process Automation Manager controller, for example, localhost or 192.7.8.9 . <PORT> is the port number of the KIE Server host, for example, 9060 . If KIE Server is not running, stop and restart the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance and try again to access the KIE Server URL or API.
