Overview of Administration

A ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks project has the following lifecycle:

Design
Deploy
Run

Project lifecycle illustrates the lifecycle of a ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks project.

Figure 46: Project lifecycle

The design phase involves creating and testing the project using TIBCO Designer™. During the deployment phase, you use TIBCO Designer to create an Enterprise Archive file (EAR file) that contains the required resources for running the project. Then, you use TIBCO Administrator to deploy the project to the machine(s) where it will run. In the run time phase, the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process engine executes the process instances of the deployed project and TIBCO Administrator can be used to monitor and manage the process engine.

This manual describes the deployment and run time phases of the project lifecycle. The design phase is described in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Process Design Guide.
