Part V. Installing and configuring KIE Server on IBM WebSphere Application Server

Red Hat Decision Manager is a subset of Red Hat Process Automation Manager. Starting with this release, the distribution files for Red Hat Decision Manager are replaced with Red Hat Process Automation Manager files. There are no Decision Manager artifacts. The Red Hat Decision Manager subscription, support entitlements, and fees remain the same. Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers will continue to receive full support for the decision management and optimization capabilities of Red Hat Decision Manager. The business process management (BPM) capabilities of Red Hat Process Automation Manager are exclusive to Red Hat Process Automation Manager subscribers. They are available for use by Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers but with development support services only. Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers can upgrade to a full Red Hat Process Automation Manager subscription at any time to receive full support for BPM features.

As a system administrator, you can configure your IBM WebSphere Application Server for Red Hat KIE Server and install KIE Server on that IBM server instance.

Note

Support for Red Hat Decision Manager on IBM WebSphere Application Server is now in the maintenance phase. Red Hat will continue to support Red Hat Process Automation Manager on IBM WebSphere Application Server with the following limitations:

  • Red Hat will not release new certifications or software functionality.
  • Red Hat will release only qualified security patches that have a critical impact and mission-critical bug fix patches.

In the future, Red Hat might direct customers to migrate to new platforms and product components that are compatible with the Red Hat hybrid cloud strategy.
