Configuring BPMN Explorer for a tenant account

If you are running WSO2 Enterprise Integrator in a multi-tenanted environment, follow these steps to configure the BPMN explorer for a tenant account.

  1. Make a copy of the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/bpmn-explorer/ directory anywhere on your computer. You will make your configuration changes in this new directory.

    The rest of these instructions refer to the new directory as <EXPLORER_CONFIG_TEMP>.

  2. Update the <EXPLORER_CONFIG_TEMP>/config/config.json configuration file as follows: 
    • Add your tenant domain as the value of the bpsTenantDomain parameter. (E.g., "bpsTenantDomain": "wso2.bps.com")

    • Add your tenant ID as the value of the bpsTenantId parameter. (E.g., "bpsTenantId" : "1")

       Follow the steps below to find your tenant ID.
        1. Log in to the Management Console of the Business Process profile using the following URL and admin/admin credentials: https://<HOST_IP>:9445/carbon/
        2. Click Configure, and then click View Tenants in the Multitenancy menu.
        3. Click the corresponding Edit link of the tenant.
          view the tenant list
        4. View the ID of your tenant.
          view your tenant ID
  3. Compress the <EXPLORER_CONFIG_TEMP> directory into a ZIP file, and then copy that ZIP file to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/ directory. You may now delete the <EXPLORER_CONFIG_TEMP> directory.
  4. Copy the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/deployment/server/webapps/bpmn.war file to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/business-process/repository/tenants/<TENANT_ID>/webapps/ directory.
  5. Log in to the BPMN Explorer via the following URL and tenant's credentials: https://<HOST_IP>/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/jaggeryapps/bpmn-explorer/
