Chapter 11. Unmanaged Process Server
An unmanaged Process Server is a standalone instance, and therefore must be configured individually using REST/JMS API from the Process Server itself, or using a headless Process Automation Manager controller. The configuration is automatically persisted by the server into a file and that is used as the internal server state, in case of restarts.
The configuration is updated during the following operations:
- Deploy KIE container
- Undeploy KIE container
- Start KIE container
- Stop KIE container
If the Process Server is restarted, it will attempt to re-establish the same state that was persisted before shutdown. Therefore, KIE containers (deployment units) that were running will be started, but the ones that were stopped will not.
