Application management

This topic explains application management considerations that are specific to enterprise applications that contain business processes or human tasks.

Enterprise applications that contain business processes differ in some important respects from enterprise applications that do not contain business processes or human tasks.

Module distribution

You can distribute Service Component Architecture (SCA) Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) modules that contain business processes or human tasks, or both, to deployment targets. A deployment target can be a server or a cluster.

Stopping a business process or human task application

Before you try to stop a business process or human task application, delete any related business process instance or human task instance. Stop the process template or task template, to prevent new instances from being created. Otherwise, an error message is written to the SystemOut.log file, and the application does not stop.

Uninstalling a business process or human task application

Before you can successfully uninstall a business process application, all business process templates must be stopped and all process instances must be deleted.

Before you can successfully uninstall a human task application, all human task templates must be stopped and all task instances must be deleted.

A process administrator can use Business Process Choreographer Explorer to terminate and delete any surviving process instances and human task instances. For details about how to stop business process templates and human task templates, and uninstall these applications, see Uninstalling business process and human task applications.
