TIBCO® BPM Enterprise 5.5.0

# Introduction to Administration

There are several methods of administering TIBCO® BPM Enterprise.

- From the container orchestration system - The container orchestration system provides probes for determining a container's readiness and health, as well as tools to administer the scaling of pods based on metrics from TIBCO BPM Enterprise. These are administered from the container orchestration system.

  In this release of TIBCO BPM Enterprise, the only supported container orchestration system is Kubernetes.

  For more information, see Container Orchestration System Administration - Kubernetes.

- From the TIBCO BPM Enterprise Administrator - TIBCO BPM Enterprise provides an Administration feature that can be used to manage deployed applications, configure shared resources, manage organizations and resources, and so on.

  For more information, see TIBCO BPM Enterprise Administrator.

- Using the TIBCO BPM Enterprise REST API - There are two administration-related services that are publicly available to administer a TIBCO BPM Enterprise system:
  - Administration Service - This service is used to create, read, update, and delete shared resources, as well as configure Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication used by the TIBCO BPM Enterprise containers.
  - Property Management Service - This service is used to create, read, update, and delete properties used by TIBCO BPM Enterprise components.

  Information about these services can be found in the TIBCO BPM Enterprise API Explorer.

  1. Access the API Explorer using the following URL (for information about the privileges needed to access API Explorer, see "Access to Administration" below):

         protocol://host:port/apps/login

     where:

     - protocol is the communications protocol being used, either `http` or `https`. This was specified at installation.
     - host is the DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the TIBCO BPM Enterprise runtime.
     - port is the port being used. The default port is 80.
