18. Operator Wizard Installer

The Business Automation Operator contains an Operator Installer Console. This console gives you a wizard experience to deploy Red Hat Process Automation Manager environments.

  1. Go the Business Automation Operator and click in Installer link.

  2. Login with Openshift. A page will show up asking for authorization. Select all options and click on "Allow selected permissions".

  3. Give the application the name my-rhpam-prod.

  4. Select the rhpam-production for the Enviroment.

  5. Check the Enable Upgrades checkbox.

  6. Scroll down and set the Username and Password to pamAdmin:redhatpam1.

  7. Click the Next button.

  8. Don’t change any values in the Security section. Click on Next.

  9. Go through the Components section of the installer and observe the possible options. Don’t change any values for now.

  10. Keep clicking next until you reach the Confirmation screen and click Deploy.

  11. Go back to the OpenShift Console.

  12. Navigate to Workloads → Deployment Configs and observe that a new Red Hat Process Automation Manager production environment has been deployed. Note that this environment has a PostgreSQL database deployed. Also note that both the Business Central and KIE-Server Deployment Configs have their ReplicationController set to 3 pods.

  13. Go back to the Operators → Installed Operators → Business Automation → KieApp.

  14. Delete the my-rhpam-prod we’ve just deployed with the Installer.

We will now deploy a new production environment using the installer, but this time we will configure our KIE-Server in the wizard and set the replications of the KIE-Server to 2 instead of 3.

  1. Go back to the Business Automation Operator, and open the Wizard.

  2. Create a new RHPAM Production Environment. Continue until you reach the KIE Servers screen.

  3. Click Add new KIE Server and use the following configuration for your KIE-Server.

  4. Click through the rest of the screens until you can press the Deploy button to deploy the environment.

  5. Navigate to the Workloads → Deployment Configs screen to see your RHPAM production environment, including the KIE-Server you configured.
