What I Am Going To Do * #B_The_Setup_Steps B. The Setup Steps I have been using JBPM5.3 for some months and then I switch to JBPM5.4. After I download JBPM5.4.Final full installer, I thought the DB Set up will be exactly the same with JBPM5.3 full installer https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-19221 https://community.jboss.org/wiki/SetUpJBPM53ToUseMSSQLServer2008 But I realized that some things has changed and at the time when I write this, the guide for changing Database in JBPM5.4 full installer is still outdated http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.4/userguide/ch.installer.html#d0e609 http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.4/userguide/ch.installer.html#d0e609 h1. A. What I Am Going To Do      1. I will change the Database setting of jbpm5.4 final full installer and point it to use MS SQL Server 2008      2. The Database driver used is jtds-1.2.4      3. Although it is possible to have separate database for Task and Process data, in this setup I will use only one Database for all the Task database tables and all the Process database tables.      4. I do this set up using Windows XP 64 Bit      5. apache ant version used is Apache Ant 1.8.4      6. jdk used is jdk 1.6 (set in Windows Environment variable as JAVA_HOME) h1. B. The Setup Steps 1. JBPM5.4 final full installer comes with almost every needed component, except eclipse (optional). But I want the eclipse, so I download *eclipse-java-helios-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip* and put it into *jbpm-installer\lib* folder 2. Because my OS is 64 bit version, I have to do a modification to the *build.xml* file found in *jbpm-installer* folder. So I changed this part <!-- Download Eclipse -->   <condition property="download.type" value="win32">     <os family="windows" />   </condition> to <!-- Download Eclipse -->   <condition property="download.type" value="win32-x86_64">     <os family="windows" />   </condition> 3. Now its time to set up the Hibernate settings, mostly we will make changes to the hibernate dialect, lets open *jbpm-installer\db* folder. 4. I am not sure how each file is used here in jbpm5.4 since the official guide still reflect jbpm5.3 files, so here is what I do, I start with opening *jbpm-installer\db*\*jbpm-persistence-JPA1.xml* I changed: <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>       <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3"/> to <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect"/>       <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3"/> 5. Then I open *jbpm-installer\db*\*jbpm-persistence-JPA2.xml* I changed: <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect" />       <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3" /> to <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect" />       <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3" /> 6. Lets continue, and open *jbpm-installer\db\task-persistence-JPA1.xml* I changed: <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>       <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.h2.Driver"/>       <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/runtime/task" />       <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="sa"/>       <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value=""/> to <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect"/>       <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"/>       <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://DBName:1433/MyJBPMDB" />       <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="myuser"/>       <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="mypassword"/> 7. Open *jbpm-installer\db\task-persistence-JPA2.xml* I changed: <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>                <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3"/> to <properties>       <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect"/>                <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3"/> -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-47975] Create a new document in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&a...]
