I'm on version 407. I could only find BPM and BPMserver folders in mfgsys803. There is nothing in BPM folder but a subfolder called BO, there is nothing in there.

The folder names MUST end in BPM! In Epicor 9 they are named LiveBPM,
TestBPM, etc. The propath for the appservers must then match the names of
the folders for that particular database.

I believe that it is better to ask here instead of calling Epicor's tech support. I have a BPM in Vantage Test account, it fires each time a weight is changed for a part, my user is telling me the BPM fires in Production account. AM I not setting up something? Thanks.

you have to go into the live method directive and uncheck enabled. I believe by default they are enabled in all databases when created.

Thanks for both of you. I will try epicWeb.

What is this live method? Where can I find it? I'm using Parts.Update method for the BPM, the condition is "Value of specific field changed from any to any." .

Here's the skinny, as I asked this exact same question back in April. :-)

Subject: Re: [Vantage] ProPath, Live vs. Test, and BPMs

The default Vantage install is such that any BPM method directives apply to ALL Vantage DBs on the server.

This means that if you develop a BPM in the TEST database, once enabled it will apply and run in the LIVE and TRAIN databases as well. It will therefore cause problems if you want to test BPMs while developing them, or if you are running several databases, each with different BPM requirements.

To enable BPM to apply to one particular DB, you need to set up the Appservers to have unique BPM folders in their PROPATH.

The steps below explain how to change the Train DB to use a different BPM folder.
1. In Progress Explorer, right click on the MFGTRAIN803 Appserver.
2. Select Properties
3. Click on Agent ' General
4. The PROPATH should be similar to the following: "E:\epicor\mfgsys803\custom,E:\epicor\mfgsys803\bpm,:\epicor\mfgsys803\Server\custom,E:\epicor\mfgsys803\Server,E:\epicor\mfgsys803"
5. Change the BPM element of this to a unique path i.e. "E:\epicor\mfgsys803\custom,E:\epicor\mfgsys803\TRAIN\bpm,:\epicor\mfgsys803\Server\custom,E:\epicor\mfgsys803\Server,E:\epicor\mfgsys803"
N.B. It is IMPERATIVE that the path ends in "BPM"
6. Repeat Steps 2 - 5 for the MFGTRAIN803ProcessServer and MFGTRAIN803TaskAgent 7. From Windows Explorer, create the directory specified in this instance "E:\epicor\mfgsys803\TRAIN\bpm"
8. Restart the Appservers. Users will need to be logged off for this.
9. Resave any BPMs created in the Train DB.

Background
When building a BPM method directive, data is stored in the Vantage DB. When a BPM directive is enabled and saved, the data is processed and a Progress program is generated to disk. The program is generated into the directory specified in the Appserver's PROPATH (folder ending in BPM). When Business Object methods are called via Web Services or a Vantage client, any BPM directives which exist for this method are located first in the propath and are therefore executed prior to base Business Object methods.

You need to setup separate folders for each database. They all use the
same folder where BPMs are stored. I don't have the instructions, but
you should be able to find them on epicweb. You basically turn off the
appservers, and change the path for your BPM.
