Chapter 4. Using the Red Hat Process Automation Manager installer
This section describes how to install Process Server and the headless Process Automation Manager controller using the installer JAR file. The JAR file is an executable file that installs Red Hat Process Automation Manager in an existing Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.0 server installation. You can run the installer in interactive or command line interface (CLI) mode.

Follow the instructions in one of the following sections:
4.1. Using the installer in interactive mode
The installer for Red Hat Process Automation Manager is an executable JAR file. You can use it to install Red Hat Process Automation Manager in an existing Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.0 server installation.
For security reasons, you should run the installer as a non-root user.
Prerequisites
- A backed-up Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.0 or higher server installation is available.
Sufficient user permissions to complete the installation are granted.
NoteEnsure that you are logged in with a user that has write permission for Tomcat.
The JAR binary is included in
$PATH
environment variable. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it is included in thejava-$JAVA_VERSION-openjdk-devel
package.NoteRed Hat Process Automation Manager is designed to work with UTF-8 encoding. If a different encoding system is used by the underlying JVM, unexpected errors might occur. To ensure UTF-8 is used by the JVM, use the
"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
system property.
Procedure
In a terminal window, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer JAR file and enter the following command:
java -jar rhpam-installer-7.1.0.jar
NoteWhen running the installer on Windows, you may be prompted to provide administrator credentials during the installation. To prevent this requirement, add the
izpack.mode=privileged
option to the installation command:java -Dizpack.mode=privileged -jar rhpam-installer-7.1.0.jar
Furthermore, when running the installer on a 32-bit Java virtual machine, you might encounter memory limitations. To prevent this issue, run this command:
java -XX:MaxHeapSize=4g -jar rhpam-installer-7.1.0.jar
The graphical installer displays a splash screen and a license agreement page.
- Click I accept the terms of this license agreement and click Next.
- Specify the Red Hat JBoss 5.0 Web Server server home where you want to install Red Hat Process Automation Manager and click Next.
Select the components that you want to install and click Next.
You cannot install Business Central on Red Hat JBoss 5.0 Web Server. You can only install it on Red Hat JBoss EAP. However, you can install Process Server and the headless Process Automation Manager controller on Red Hat JBoss 5.0 Web Server. The headless Process Automation Manager controller is used to manage Process Server. Install the headless Process Automation Manager controller if you plan to manage multiple Process Server instances.
Create a user and click Next. By default, the new user is given the
admin
,kie-server
, andrest-all
roles. Thekie-server
role is required to acces Process Server REST capabilities.NoteMake sure that the specified user name is not the same as an existing user, role, or group. For example, do not create a user with the user name
admin
.The password must have at least eight characters and must contain at least one number and one non-alphanumeric character, but not & (ampersand).
Make a note of the user name and password. You will need them to access Business Central and Process Server.
- On the Installation Overview page, click Next to start the installation. The Installation Overview page lists the components that you will install.
- When the installation has completed, click Next.
On the Configure Runtime Environment page, choose whether to perform the default installation or perform an advanced configuration.
If you choose Perform advanced configuration, you can choose to configure database settings or customize certain Process Server options.
If you selected Customize database settings, on the JDBC Drive Configuration page specify a data source JDBC driver vendor, select one or more Driver JAR files, and click Next.
A data source is an object that enables a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) client, such as an application server, to establish a connection with a database. Applications look up the data source on the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) tree or in the local application context and request a database connection to retrieve data. You must configure data sources for Process Server to ensure proper data exchange between the servers and the designated database.
If you selected Customize Process Server settings, change any of the following, if desired:
- Change the name of the Process Server property.
- Change the URL of the headless Process Automation Manager controller.
- Deselect any Process Server server options.
- Click Next to configure the runtime environment.
- When Processing finished appears at the top of the screen, click Next to complete the installation.
If desired, click Generate Installation Script and Properties File to save the installation data in an XML file, then click Done. You can use this file to automatically install Red Hat Process Automation Manager on the same type of server. Note that you must change the
installpath
parameter in the XML file to specify the path of the new server that you want to install Red Hat Process Automation Manager on. Enter the following command to perform an installation with the XML file:java -jar rhpam-installer-7.1.0.jar <path-to-file>
You have successfully installed Red Hat Process Automation Manager using the installer. If you installed only Business Central, repeat these steps to install Process Server on a separate server.
4.2. Using the installer in CLI mode
You can run the Red Hat Process Automation Manager installer through the command-line interface (CLI).
For security reasons, you should run the installer as a non-root user.
Prerequisites
- A backed-up Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5 or higher server installation is available.
Sufficient user permissions to complete the installation are granted.
NoteEnsure that you are logged in with a user that has write permission for Tomcat.
The JAR binary is included in the
$PATH
environment variable. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it is included in thejava-$JAVA_VERSION-openjdk-devel
package.NoteRed Hat Process Automation Manager is designed to work with UTF-8 encoding. If a different encoding system is used by the underlying JVM, unexpected errors might occur. To ensure UTF-8 is used by the JVM, use the
"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
system property.
Procedure
In a terminal window, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer file and enter the following command:
java -jar rhpam-installer-7.1.0.jar -console
The command-line interactive process will start and display the End-User License Agreement.
press 1 to continue, 2 to quit, 3 to redisplay.
Read the license agreement, enter
1
, and press Enter to continue:Specify the home directory of one of the following servers: Red Hat JBoss EAP 7.1
Enter the parent directory of an existing Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.0 installation.
The installer will verify the location of the installation at the location provided. Enter
1
to confirm and continue.Follow the instructions in the installer to complete the installation.
NoteWhen you create the user name and password, make sure that the specified user name does not conflict with any known title of a role or a group. For example, if there is a role called
admin
, you should not create a user with the user nameadmin
.The password must have at least eight characters and must contain at least one number and one non-alphanumeric character (not including the character
&
).Make a note of the user name and password. You will need them to access Business Central and Process Server.
When the installation has completed, you will see this message:

to create an XML file that contains the installation data, orn
to complete the installation. If you entery
, you are prompted to specify a path for the XML file. - Enter a path or press the Enter key to accept the suggested path.
