The document discusses JBoss BPM Suite 6 and provides an overview of business process management systems and the key components of the BPM Suite. It describes how BPM Suite allows modeling of business processes using BPMN, execution of processes using a BPM engine, and integration of systems and user tasks. Deployment options including on-premise and microservices/OSGI architectures are covered. The document also summarizes the KIE API and languages used in BPM Suite like BPMN and MVEL.

- 17. WHAT WE DON’T DO When we design a workflow? Re-Design or Re-Invent the Business Process
- 18. red hat BPM Suite 6 components • BPM Central A web based application that provides tools for creating, editing, building, managing and monitoring assets and tasks. • Artifact Repository AKA Knowledge Store or Knowledge Base repository is a set of data the application operates over and is referred by the Excution Server. • Execution Server which provides the runtime environment for business assets.
- 19. BPM Central tools • Process designer and other editors; • Rules modeler; • Task client; • Process Manager; • Dashboard builder; • Business asset manager.

- 25. Deployment scenario The basic scenario is based on Business Central. Everyone access the web console Maven Repository KIE Workbench - Business-central - JBoss EAP Processes Persistence The Business Central Execution Engine pulls assets from Maven Repository and persists data on an external storage.
- 26. Deployment scenario - 2 The same deployment architecture can be enriched by Maven Repository KIE Workbench - Business-central - JBoss EAP Processes Persistence Web Application REST an additional custom Web Application. The new web app can be deployed in the same container of Business Central or in a remote one. The Web App access the Business Central Execution Engine by using the REST API The Business Central Execution Engine pulls assets from Maven Repository and persists data on an external storage.
- 27. Deployment scenario - 3 As well as the Business Central other custom Runtime Engines can be created in a JEE container or as standalone java applications Custom Web App Custom Execution Server Maven Repository Processes Persistence JEE - EAP Business-central Execution Server JEE - EAP JSE Standalone Application

- 34. Process Modelling • Create workflow models using BPMN v2.0 language; • The BPMN model is defined in the native XML language; • Processes can also be modelled by using a GUI; • and can modeled using API too.
- 35. Standard Languages Two languages are out of this LAB scope BPMN 2.0 & MVEL
- 36. red hat BPM Suite 6 languages • BPMN 2.0 The primary goal of BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is to provide a standard notation readily understandable by all business stakeholders. • MVEL is a powerful expression language for Java-based applications. It provides a plethora of features and is suited for everything from the smallest property binding and extraction, to full blown scripts.
- 37. The KIE API • Authoring • Building • Testing • Deploying • Versioning • Loading • Running • Interact • Managing • Monitoring In the BPM arena we need: KIE stands for Knowledge Is Everything
- 38. KieBase A KieBase is a repository of all the application's knowledge definitions. It contains rules, processes, functions, and type models. The KieBase itself does not contain data; instead, sessions are created from the KieBase into which data can be inserted, and, ultimately, process instances may be started.
- 39. KieSession Creating the KieBase can be quite heavy, whereas session creation is very light; therefore, it is recommended that KieBase be cached where possible to allow for repeated session creation. Accordingly, the caching mechanism is automatically provided by the KieContainer. The KieSession stores and executes on runtime data. It is created from the KieBase, or, more easily, created directly from the KieContainer if it has been defined in the kmodule.xml file
- 40. KIE API There are three type of API: • classic core API • remote API • ReST API
- 41. Enjoy the demo • Business Central demo • REST API demo But we won’t cover: Work Item Handler, Exception Handling, CEP, BAM, BRP (Business Resource Planner aka OptaPlanner)
