TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Logical Nodes and Services
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is implemented as a number of independent components that expose services, exploiting the benefits of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) provided by the TIBCO ActiveMatrix runtime.
These components are grouped into a set of TIBCO ActiveMatrix logical nodes (of type Client, Server or BPM), each of which provides a set of services. (An ActiveMatrix logical node is a heterogeneous group of application fragments that must be deployed to the same physical node.)
The BPM logical node type provides a complete TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM system, combining the full capabilities of the Server and Client logical node types.
The sections High Availability and Fault Tolerance - Clustered Operation and Specialization and Scalability - Logical Node Distribution provide additional information on how this logical node architecture can be used to configure a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM system to meet enterprise requirements in areas such as scalability, high-availability and fault tolerance, load balancing or performance.
For more information about how to install, deploy and configure TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM in different configurations, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Installation and Configuration.
