Setting Up forMonitoring with Oracle BAM
In this section, you do the one-time setup needed for enabling Oracle BAM monitoring of
BPM processes. These steps are typically done by the person managing the installation.

6.1.1 Configuring BAM Adapter
The BPM Server uses BAM Adapter to push events to BAM. This adapter needs to be
configured so that it knows how to connect to the BAM Server. Note that the BPM Serverand
BAM Server can be running in different environments.
This configuration is done using the EM Console application for the BPM Server.
If you are using a pre-configured system for this training, you do not need to do this step.
1.

Log into the WLS Console application for BPM Server, typically
http://bpmhost:7001/console (where you would replace bpmhost with details specific to
yourenvironment)

2.

Find the Domain Structure panel on the left hand bar, and click on Deployments

3.

In the Deployments table in the main panel, find OracleBamAdapter of type Resource
