How to set up Red Hat CodeReady Studio 12: Process automation tooling

By Eric D. Schabell July 30, 2019September 3, 2019

The release of the latest Red Hat developer suite version 12 included a name change from Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio to Red Hat CodeReady Studio. The focus here is not on the Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces, a cloud and container development experience, but on the locally installed developers studio. Given that, you might have questions about how to get started with the various Red Hat integration, data, and process automation product toolsets that are not installed out of the box.

Good news: Business automation is not about SOA

By Karina Varela February 20, 2019February 19, 2019

This is not an article about service-oriented architecture (SOA); neither is it a business process management (BPM) article. This article is about how business automation can change the way you create software.

At a first, developers and architects tend to associate the use of BPM suites (or business-oriented architecture) with SOA. This behavior immediately leads to an incorrect bias about the subject.

C-suite executives understand: Transform—or be suppressed by new, disruptive, technology-driven startups. In 2019, business automation is a key transformation that executives will seek in order to improve business performance and lower costs. However, some technology teams are not very open to it. Why?

In the past, BPM suites have been used as big centralized orchestrators for services, external systems, and human tasks. JBoss SOA Platform, released in 2008, is an example of such an integration platform. Unfortunately, this kind of application does not fit new cloud- and microservices-oriented architectures. The good news is that business automation evolved and can help teams to reach the next step in DevOps: BizDevOps.

Demystifying the Red Hat Decision Manager and Process Automation Manager Remote Client

By Duncan Doyle December 10, 2018

KIE-Server is the light-weight, cloud-native, rules and process execution runtime of the Red Hat Decision Manager (RHDM) and Red Hat Process Automation Manager (RHPAM) platforms. Lately, I’ve gotten more and more questions on how to use the KIE-Server Client Java API to interact with the KIE-Server execution runtime of RHDM (formerly called Red Hat JBoss BRMS) and RHPAM (RHPAM). To answers these questions, and to create a future reference, I decided to write a number of code examples, accompanied by this article.

The KIE-Server Client Java API provides an easy way for Java applications to communicate with the KIE-Server execution engine of RHDM and RHPAM. The API abstracts the application from the underlying REST and/or JMS communication protocol and transport, making integrations with the server easier to build, test, and maintain.

Quickly try Red Hat Process Automation Manager in your cloud

By Eric D. Schabell December 4, 2018September 3, 2019

It’s been some time since I last talked with you about putting JBoss BPM Suite (now called Red Hat Process Automation Manager) into your cloud, and with the new release, it’s time to talk AppDev in the cloud again.

It’s time to update the story and see how to put Red Hat Process Automation Manager in your cloud so you are set up with a standard configuration to start your first business rules project.

With the easy installation demo project described below, you can leverage process automation tooling through the business central web console running containerized on any Red Hat OpenShift.

Let’s take a closer look at how this works.

Spring Boot-enabled business process automation with Red Hat Process Automation Manager

By Duncan Doyle November 1, 2018September 3, 2019

With the release of version 7.1 of Red Hat Process Automation Manager (RHPAM), the platform now supports the deployment of the process automation manager runtime as a “capability” within Spring Boot applications. As Maciej Swiderski, the project lead for jBPM.org (the upstream community project for RHPAM) explained earlier this year, the KIE (Knowledge Is Everything) platform on which RHPAM is built provides Spring Boot Starters to quickly build a business application or microservice with process and case execution capabilities using a minimal amount of code.
