Administer applications and processes in the runtime environment

After you have installed or deployed your applications to the runtime environment, you need to manage them. This management includes administering the process applications or service modules themselves as well as the processes and components that are associated with them.

The tools you use depend on the type of administration task that you are doing. These topics include information on using commands, Process Admin Console, Process Center Console, WebSphere Application server administrative console, Business Process Choreographer Explorer, Business Space, Process Inspector, and business rules manager.

• Manage installed snapshots
  Use the Process Admin Console to administer and configure runtime settings for snapshots that are installed on a process server.
• Administer service applications and service modules
  Use the administrative tools to view and manage service applications and their associated service modules.
• Administer case management tasks
  IBM Case Manager tasks integrate with BPEL processes through a web service. After you deploy the web service module for a case management task to a production server, you use the Process Server administrative console to make changes to the module properties.
• Manage processes and their components
  Processes on a runtime process server have instances that you can manage with one of the BPM tools.
• Administer business state machines
  You can view the correlation set values and display states variables to debug and administer business state machine instances.
• Administer business rules and selectors
  Business rules and selectors provide flexibility in a business process by changing the results of a process based on a criteria. Before installing applications that contain business rules and selector components, install the business rules dynamic repository. You can install the business rules dynamic repository for a stand-alone server or for ND.
• Manage relationships
  A relationship correlates at least two or more semantically equivalent business objects, which are represented in different physical formats. The relationship service maintains relationships and roles in the system, and the relationship manager provides a way to configure, query, view, and perform operations on relationship runtime data, including roles.
• Troubleshooting runtime administration
  

  If you encounter problems with your processes or resources during run time, use the information in these topics to help identify and resolve the issue.
