Process
Deployment |
FlowRunner is capable of
delivering a complete,
self-sufficient business
process with just a few
clicks. The deployed
solution is delivered
together
with all its dependencies
making usable immediately.
There is no need to
configure links, or to
upload application archives
separately, everything is
packaged and delivered to
the server in simple
ZIP-compressed
archive.
Some of the benefits of self-contained deployment
supported by FlowRunner
- A single solution can
be delivered to multiple
process environments (for
example staging and
production)
- Multiple versions of
the same process can run
at the same time
- Multiple versions of
the same java application
archive (JAR) can run at
the same time (via a
custom ClassLoader)
- Solutions can be
downloaded back to the
client as ZIP files
- All prior versions are
always available in their
entirety

Process VersioningSince
multiple versions of the same
process are supported it is
important to follow well-defined
compatibility rules. FlowRunner
employs strong versioning rules
to achieve maximum
interoperability of running
business processes.
- All procedures bear a
three integer version number:
MAJOR.MINOR.REVISION
- The version is manually
editable, not generated
- Updates made to specific
versions do not affect
processes in progress
- Sub-Procedures can "stick"
to a specific version
