Chapter 1. Why Migrate?
Migrating to JBoss BRMS/BPM Suite 6 from BRMS 5.x branch means that you get the following new features:
- A higher performance rule engine based on the Drools 6 community project.
- Improved rule authoring tools and an enhanced, integrated user interface.
- A common defined methodology for building and deployment using Maven as the basis for repository management.
- A heuristic planning engine based on the OptaPlanner community project.
- Use of the PHREAK algorithm to handle a larger number of rules and facts.
- New Data Modeler that replaces the declarative Fact Model Editor
- And many more stability, usability and functional improvements.
Note that Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6 is now the superset that includes a version of the Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6. Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6 by itself does not include business process management capabilities.
Being backwards compatible with JBoss BRMS 5.x branch, migrating to Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6 means that your rules created with BRMS 5.x will still execute on BRMS 6 without changes. A migration tool is also provided with the 6 branch to facilitate migration of the content of a JBoss BRMS 5.x repository to Red Hat JBoss BRMS/BPM Suite 6. Note, however, that BPMN2 process models created with JBoss BRMS 5.x will not execute on Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6.
