  2. Point the database that has the API Manager user permissions to EI.
    In this step you need to share the user store database in WSO2 API Manager with WSO2 EI.

    a. Copy the following datasource configuration to <API-M_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml :

    Code Block
    <datasource> <name>WSO2UM_DB</name>
     <description>The datasource used by user manager</description>

    </datasource>
    Note

    We are using MySQL to configure the datasources in this documentation. You can configure this according to the database you are using. Refer Setting up the Physical Database for more information.

    b. Change the datasource to point the WSO2UM_DB by changing the realm configuration in the <API-M_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file as shown below.

    Code Block
    <UserManager>
        <Realm>

            </Configuration>
                ....
        <Realm>
    <UserManager>

    c. Repeat the configurations described in step 2(a) and 2(b) in <EI_HOME>/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml and <EI_HOME>/conf/user-mgt.xml respectively.

  3. Share any LDAPs that exist.
  4. Unzip the  <API-M>/business-processes/application-registration/HumanTask/ApplicationRegistrationTask-1.0.0.zip  file, update the role as follows in the  ApplicationRegsitrationTask.ht  file.

    Code Block

  5. Zip the  ApplicationRegistrationTask-1.0.0 folder.

  6. Restart the API Manager server.

In this step you need to share the user store database in WSO2 API Manager with WSO2 BPS.
a. Copy the following datasource
  1. Download WSO2 Enterprise Integrator

    Tip

    Before you begin configuring EI, please update your EI 6.1.1 pack using WUM. For more information, see Updating WSO2 Products.

    • Import the EI server's public cert into the APIM's client-trustore.jks keystore. For instructions on importing, see Creating New Keystores.
  2. Set an offset of 2 to the default EI port in the <EI_HOME>/conf/carbon.xml file. This prevents port conflicts that occur when you start more than one WSO2 product on the same server. For more information, see Changing the Default Ports with Offset.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Offset>2</Offset>
    Tip

    Tip: If you change the EI port offset to a value other than 2 or run the API Manager and EI on different machines (therefore, want to set the hostname to a different value than localhost), you do the following:

    • Search and replace the value 9765 in all the files (.epr) inside <APIM_HOME>/business-processes folder with the new port (9763 + port offset.)
  3. Open the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/conf/humantask.xml file and <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/conf/b4p-coordination-config.xml file and set the TaskCoordinationEnabled property to true.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <TaskCoordinationEnabled>true</TaskCoordinationEnabled>
  4. Copy the following from the <API-M_HOME>/business-processes/epr folder to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/conf/epr folder. 
    Create the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/conf/epr folder does not exist, then please create it.

    Note

    Make sure you give the correct credentials in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/conf/epr files.

    • RegistrationService.epr - This is the service that invokes the  EIs business process engine
    • RegistrationCallbackService.epr - This is the workflow call back service.
  5. Start the EI server and sign in to its management console (https://<Server Host>:9443+<port offset>/carbon).

    Warning

    If you are using Mac OS with High Sierra, you may encounter the following warning when logging into the Management console due to a compression issue that exists in High Sierra SDK.

    To avoid this issue open the <EI_HOME>/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml file and change the compression="on" to compression="off" in Connector configuration. Restart the EI server for the changes to take effect.

  6. Log into Management console of WSO2 EI, select Add > BPEL under the Processes menu and upload the <APIM_HOME>/business-processes/application-registration/BPEL/ApplicationRegistrationWorkflowProcess_1.0.0.zip file to EI. This is the business process archive file.
