Differences between features and capabilities of Kie-Server and Business-Central in BPM Suite 6
Issue
-
Why does
Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.3come with 2 applications that expose REST api for executing processes and rules (kie serverandbusiness-central) ? -
In the
business-centralapplication, it is possible to send REST api request like this, in order to start new process.
http://localhost:8080/business-central/rest/runtime/com.sample:simple-process:LATEST/process/simple-process.TestProcess/start
Note that this url points to the business-central context path in it's URL. So, is it possible to use the same built-in REST api of the business-central in order to manage processes and rule execution?
- What is the kie-server used for and why users would need it if we they already have the
business-central? - Does the
kie-serverhave the same REST api as thebusiness-central? Will everybusiness-centralREST request will also work in thekie-serverurl? - Is
kie-serverREST api url different frombusiness-centralREST api url? - On the same production system, is it recommended for users to install
kie-serveronly or is it mandatory to also installbusiness-central? - What are the differences in terms of performance when using
kie-servercomparing tobusiness-centralto run/execute processes? - What is the recommendation for production usage among
business-centraland usekie-serverapplications? - How can
ruleandBPMN2 process instancebe monitored inkie-server? Which attributes can be monitored and how (in thebusiness-central)? - If the
kie-serveris not monitored then how can it be used in production and is it recommended to use it in production?
