The following links my aid you in your quest of LDAP / BPM integration as well as troubleshooting in case of any problems:

Configuring LDAP security provider users and groups

To use a standalone Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) registry in IBM® Business Process Manager, you must add the specific users and groups.

IBM has made the evaluation of their BPM product available as a cloud service here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/bpm/cloud.html Although there's a download link on that page, it will probably redirect you to the "cloud" page.

Answered: How to manually bootstrap the IBM Process Server database with the initial data?

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:10:40 +0000

For IBM BPM 7.5.x:

When you run the bootstrapProcessServerData command, configuration data for the BPM applications is loaded into the database. This data is required for the BPM applications to run correctly.

Note: This command runs automatically when you create a stand-alone profile and choose to create the database during profile creation.

If you create a stand-alone profile and delay the database table setup, you must run the bootstrap command after the database and its tables have been created and before the server is started for the first time.
In a network deployment (ND) environment, you must run this command after a server or cluster of servers is created. For a cluster, you need to run the command only once, specifying a single cluster member. Run this command after the database and its tables have been created, after the profile and deployment environment have been created, and before the first server is started. You do not need to rerun the command if you add another cluster member.

Procedure

Run the bootstrap utility from the command line. The bootstrap utility is found in the stand-alone or deployment manager profile directory. For example:

C:/<install_root>/profiles/ProcCtr01/bin
<install_root>\profiles\Dmgr01\bin

Run the bootstrap utility using the following syntax:

bootstrapProcessServerData.sh -profilePath profile_path -dbType db_type -dbJDBCClasspathclasspath [-nodeName node_name -serverName server_name]
bootstrapProcessServerData.bat -profilePath profile_path -dbType db_type -dbJDBCClasspath classpath [-nodeName node_name -serverName server_name]

where:

-profilePath is the location where the profile was created. This parameter is not required for IBM Business Process Manager 7.5.0.1 and later.
-dbType is the database type, such as DB2_UNIVERSAL ORACLE, or MSSQLSERVER_MICROSOFT. See Supported database types for the appropriate value. This parameter is not required for IBM Business Process Manager 7.5.0.1 and later.
-dbJDBCClasspath is the location of the database JDBC driver. The value specified for the dbJBBCClasspath must be surrounded by quotation marks if there are spaces in the path. This parameter is not required for IBM Business Process Manager 7.5.0.1 and later.
-nodeName is the name of the node. This parameter is required with -serverName for an ND environment. Do not specify for stand-alone.
-serverName is the name of the server. This parameter is required with -nodeName for an ND environment. Do not specify for stand-alone.
-clusterName (for 7.5.0.1 and later only) is the name of the application target cluster. For an ND environment, you can specify this parameter instead of the -nodeName and -serverName parameters.

The parameters are case-sensitive.

For IBM BPM 8.0.x :

Before you can successfully start the cluster in a deployment environment, configuration data for the business process management applications must be loaded into the database. You can do this by using the bootstrap utility (bootstrapProcessServerData.sh).

Before you begin

Create the DB2® for z/OS database objects by using the createDB2.sh script, or DB2 tools such as SPUFI or DSNTEP2.
Start the deployment manager.
Federate the empty nodes into the deployment manager cell.
Create the deployment environment.
Update the configuration values for the cluster.

About this task

For a cluster, you need to run the bootstrap utility only once, specifying the name of the application target cluster.

Procedure

On the deployment manager node, access the UNIX System Services shell.
In OMVS, switch to the administrator user ID. For example:
su wsadmin
Navigate to the WAS_HOME/profiles/default/bin directory of the deployment manager profile. For example:
cd /WebSphere/V8T4DM/DeploymentManager/profiles/default/bin
Run the bootstrapProcessServerData.sh script using the following syntax:
./bootstrapProcessServerData.sh -clusterName cluster_name

where -clusterName specifies the name of the application target cluster.
For example:
./bootstrapProcessServerData.sh -clusterName T4.AppTarget

This might have happened due to a fact that bootstrapping process server data might not have properly been performed.

After creating the deployment environment (which I suppose you have already done) make sure you bootstrap the data for the BPM (process server) database.
