| Questions and Answers | |
| How do I get the source code for Intalio|BPMS? | |
![]() | The source code for Intalio|BPMS is available one of two ways. One, you can subscribe to the Enterprise Edition (http://www.intalio.com/products/product-platforms/#editions). Or two, you can download components from the respective Open Source communities that manage the code. Our open-source strategy is to participate in existing communities (Apache, Eclipse) rather create our own whenever possible. We felt that it was more efficient to donate the code to these bodies whose purpose it is to oversee the management of open source code and build community to support it. Code used in Intalio|Server was donated to the Apache ODE project (http://ode.apache.org/getting-ode.html). Code developed for modeling business processes in Intalio|Designer was donated to the STP/BPMN Component project at Eclipse (http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP/BPMN_Component). Our Commercial Open Source Model is defined at http://itredux.com/2007/01/02/on-intalio-and-open-source/. We also have a wiki page available at http://www.intalio.org/confluence/display/MAIN/Intalio.org;jsessionid=KFIAHMLIOCBL that points to ODE, Tempo (user task management services and UI running the BPEL4Peope standard), and STP/BPMN. |
| I can't see DEBUG output in the console | |
![]() | By default, the console only displays WARN level traces and above (excludes DEBUG). The output would be only in the var/log/geronimo.log file. to see DEBUG in the console, add or change log4j.appender.CONSOLE.threshold=DEBUG in var/log/server-log4j.properties |
| How can I change my password for bpms.intalio.com? | |
![]() | From the main page, once logged in, click on "My Details", then use the Edit button and select "Update your profile". You can change your password on the "Contact Info" tab. |
| I have problems in the installation of intalio geronimo:Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined At least on of these environment variable is needed to run this program | |
![]() | The JAVA_HOME variable needs to be defined manually once a proper JDK has been installed (1.5). Either use "SET JAVA_HOME={path to jdk} or set it using the System control panel>Advanced>Environment Variable (if using windows). If using Linux or Mac OS X, add it to your startup script (.bashrc, .cshrc, ...) |
| Do we need to install intalio|BPMS Server to use Intalio|BPMS Designer | |
![]() | No. Intalio|BPMS Designer can be used by itself. Intalio|BPMS Server is only required to deploy processes or forms. |
| How to create users??? | |
![]() | No answer entered yet |
| Can you provide pricing information for Enterprise License. For example, to enable an organise to deploy enterprise system to workflow engine capacity is upto 1000 users. | |
![]() | You can find details about subscription pricing at http://bpms.intalio.com/content/view/172/88/ (registration required). |

| How to configure a proxy on Intalio|Server | |
![]() | In some situations, you need to access to a web service through a proxy. To configure the proxy, simply edit the axis2.xml configuration file located in the ODE folder and configure it to use a proxy as explained here. |
| What is the difference between the Open Source, Community and Enterprise editions? | |
![]() | Intalio|BPMS is essentially composed of three components called Intalio|BPMS Designer, Intalio|BPMS Server and Intalio|BPMS Workflow. At the core of each of these components is an open source technology that implements a key BPM specification: - A BPMN modeler, under the Eclipse license (see http://www.eclipse.org/stp/bpmn) - A BPEL engine, under the Apache license (see http://wiki.apache.org/ode) - A BPEL4People runtime, under the Eclipse license (see http://tempo.intalio.org) All these technologies are under quite liberal licenses that allows any organization to use them freely. They can be packaged and used in many different ways but does not constitute a fully integrated BPMS per se. For this reason, Intalio decided to package these technologies in one sample configuration that is easy to install, simple to use and free. This is Intalio|BPMS Community Edition. It packages these three technologies with other technologies such as Apache Geronimo and Apache Axis2 and also provides additional productivity tools to complete Intalio Zero Code vision. There are however other ways that these components can be packaged. In particular, users may want to deploy these technologies in a different application server, or with a different database, or with an Enterprise Service Bus, or outside of the application server. These are different packages that Intalio supports under the Enterprise Edition. In short, the Community Edition extends the open source edition to improve the usability of these complex technologies, while the Enterprise Edition adapts to any deployment environment. |
| How can I access the processes deployed on the Intalio|Server | |
![]() | Each process deployed on the Intalio|Server is exposed as a web-service. To retrieve the WSDL document describing the interface of the processes deployed on the Intalio|Server, simply point your browser to http://localhost:8080/ode. |
| How are end-users authentified in Intalio|Workflow? | |
![]() | End-users can interact with business processes through the Intalio|Workflow UI Framework. They can start processes, access their task list, receive notifications. It is very important to ensure that authentification of those end-users is based on their roles to give the proper permissions. For instance an employee won't see the task list of a manager nor will he be able to start a management process. Intalio|Workflow supports an abstraction layer called Role Based Access Control (http://csrc.nist.gov/rbac/) which gives you the ability to define realms, roles, permissions and users. Two implementations are available: LDAP based and File-System based. By default the file system implementation is enabled as it is suited for development environment. To access the file where all the roles/users are defined simply search for a file called 'security.xml' in the Geronimo config-store directory. The physical location of that file can be changed via configuration. |
| How can I change the 'changeit' password for Intalio|Console? | |
![]() | The Intalio console relies on an RBAC implementation that is by default file-based. To modify the username or password, simply modify the configuration file called console-security.xml. This file is located in the deployment folder of the console application under the 'config-store' directory of Geronimo. |
| What roles are available in Intalio|Console? | |
![]() | Intalio|Console currently supports two roles: 1. ProcessManager – this role allows users to log in to the Console, and access all process-management features. 2. ProcessAdministrator – this role allows users to access features specifically marked for administrators. This role is a inherits from ProcessManager and therefore allows users to access all process-management features as well. |
| Should the changes in the Data Editor be reflected in Mapper Area? | |
![]() | Changing an assignment in the Data Editor will be reflected in the Mapper, and vice-versa. Changes in other areas of the Data Editor (such as properties, correlations, variable declarations) will not be displayed in the Mapper. |
| No valid license found for ILOG JViews Diagrammer 6.5. | |
![]() | read this thread on the forum for installing the patch: http://bpms.intalio.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,/func,view/catid,2/id,2320/ |
| How do I add BPMS to existing Geronimo | |
![]() | This not supported for the Community Edition. You need to use the version of Geronimo that is bundled in the downloads section. |
| How to design an XML Schema? | |
![]() | An XML Schema represents the structure and typing of an XML document. Several tools allow you to generate an XML Schema that corresponds to an existing data structure such a database or a set of java class. If you require to write an XML Schema from scratch, we recommend using the Eclipse WTP tools that include XML Schema/WSDL graphical editor |
| What is the Web Service Invoker? | |
![]() | The Web Service Invoker is a tool that is part of the Intalio|BPMS Server Console. In the Console, from the Processes tab, you can select a process and click "Start" to launch the Web Service Invoker, which will list all entry points to the selecter process. After you select one service to start your process, the Web Service Invoker automatically generates a form that allows you to submit input parameters to start the selected process with the selected service. The Web Service Invoker allows you to start any process from the your web browser without having to write any UI code. |
| What is the Workflow Visual Connector? | |
![]() | The Workflow Visual Connector is a component of Intalio|BPMS Workflow that is embedded in Intalio|BPMS Designer. It monitors the creation and changes of *.xform files in your project and automatically create WSDL and XSD files that can be used to integrate forms with business processes. |
| What is the Form Editor? | |
![]() | The Form Editor is a component of Intalio|BPMS Workflow that is embedded within Intalio|BPMS Designer. It provides the ability to graphically create forms and it generates the UI code in XForms. |
| What is the Data Mapper? | |
![]() | The Data Mapper is a graphical tool inside Intalio|BPMS Designer that provides the ability to apply transformation to process variables in order to create messages, new variables, conditions, etc. |
| do you have a user guide equivalent to V3 | |
![]() | The closest we have is what you will find under Reference Guides |
| What databases are supported | |
![]() | The Community Edition only supports Derby, and will also support MySQL. For other databases, you need to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition. The Enterprise Edition supports Oracle 9 and 10, SQL Server and DB2. |
| Which Operating Systems are supported | |
![]() | The Community Edition supports AIX 5.3, Linux (tested on Fedora Core 4), Solaris (tested on 8 and 9), Windows (2000, XP, 2003 Server, Vista) and Mac OS 10.4. |
