Execution & Deployment | ||||
| Transactional engine |
|
|
|
|
| The Bonita Execution Engine is a fully transactional engine which allows grouped calls and unit definition to manage failures | ||||
| Synchronous/asynchronous execution |
|
|
|
|
| Use asynchronous execution to avoid process instances being blocked because of pending tasks | ||||

| Remote deployment |
|
|
| |
| The embedded Bonita Execution Engine allows you to easily and quickly test modeled processes to dramatically increase development efficiency. If you also want to test in an environment closer to a production environment (for example, in a JEE application server), customize preferences and define the target environment. Remote deployment is also available in REST mode | ||||
| Multi-environment export |
|
|
| |
| Commonly, BPM process development and deployment is done in multiple stages, for example development, test, pre- production, production.

| Rights management |
|
|
| |
| Organizations with complex requirements may want to define rules to ensure certain processes can only be started by authorized people. This feature is especially valuable at runtime when you need to make dynamic assignments in real time | ||||
| Search |
|
|
| |
| Find a process case with specific criteria among a large number of deployed and archived processes. Use the search function to search for processes and process cases in natural language | ||||
| Custom KPIs and dashboards |
|
|
| |
| Define your own KPIs and couple them directly to business processes. Visualize results with graphical tools such as BIRT (embedded into Bonita Studio) or Jasper iReport | ||||
