Databases

WebSphere Process Server requires three databases:

• WPSDB, or WPRCSDB. This is the main Process Server database.
• BPEDB. This is the Business Process Engine database.
• MEDB. This is the messaging engine database.

An additional fourth database may be required:

• CEIDB. This is the datastore for the common-event infrastructure.

For more detail, including the creation of each of these, click their names.

Topologies

WebSphere Process Server can be installed in various topologies, depending on the messaging requirements, number of SCA modules, etc.

Bronze

All of the Process Server components - the engine, messaging and any common-event infrastructure - are all run within the same cluster.

Remote messaging

Also known as the 'silver' topology, this pulls the messaging infrastructure into its own cluster external to the process server cluster.

Full support

Also known as the 'gold' topology, this puts both the messaging and common-event infrastructure into their own clusters external to the process server cluster.

Double silver / 'Platinum'

Multiples of a topology are typically used to alleviate the performance degradation associated with large numbers of deployed modules.

In a standard 'silver' topology there are two clusters:

• The Process Server cluster, that runs the process engine.
• The Messaging Engine cluster, that handles all messaging.

In a double (or triple, etc.) version, there are multiple sets of these cluster pairs:

• Process_Server_Cluster_01 and Messaging_Engine_Cluster_01
• Process_Server_Cluster_02 and Messaging_Engine_Cluster_02
• ... and so on.

These topologies, consisting of multiple sets of clusters, are regarded as 'platinum'.

Double gold / 'Platinum'

Multiples of a topology are typically used to alleviate the performance degradation associated with large numbers of deployed modules.

In a standard 'gold' topology there are three clusters:

• The Process Server cluster, that runs the process engine.
• The Messaging Engine cluster, that handles all messaging.
• The Support cluster, that handles the common-event infrastructure and the business rules manager.

In a double (or triple, etc.) version, there are multiple sets of these clusters:

• Process_Server_Cluster_01 and Messaging_Engine_Cluster_01
• Process_Server_Cluster_02 and Messaging_Engine_Cluster_02
• ... and so on.

There is no need to have multiple support clusters.

These topologies, consisting of multiple sets of clusters, are regarded as 'platinum'.
