Developer Server

A Developer Server configuration of TIBCO BPM Enterprise consists of three docker containers that are managed using Docker Compose. It is intended for quickly performing development and testing on a developer's machine of a BPM application, which has been designed in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition.

Warning: The Developer Server configuration is intended only for rapid development and testing purposes. It is not intended for use in a production environment and TIBCO recommends that you do not use it in a production environment.

The configuration is a simple one in which containers using the following components are all installed on the same machine:

  • TIBCO BPM Enterprise
  • Database Server
  • LDAP Directory

The Developer Server configuration has been designed to be easy to install on a developer's desktop or laptop machine, with minimal system requirements. As a result, the configuration has some limitations:

  • All TIBCO software must be installed on the same machine because it cannot be accessed remotely in this configuration.
  • Only one instance of Developer Server can be installed on a machine.
  • Developer Server cannot be reconfigured after it has been installed.
  • Developer Server cannot be used to provide a high-availability, fault-tolerant system, nor to provide specialization and scalability.
  • An existing Developer Server cannot be upgraded, and hotfixes cannot be applied to it. To use a later version of Developer Server, you must uninstall the installed version, and then install the later version.
