TIBCO BPM Enterprise Installation Profiles

You can install TIBCO® BPM Enterprise in two configurations - one intended for development use, one for production.

TIBCO BPM Enterprise Developer Server

TIBCO BPM Enterprise Developer Server is a simple configuration that can be used for rapid development and testing, comprising of:

  • the TIBCO BPM Enterprise application
  • a PostgreSQL database
  • an ApacheDS LDAP server

These components are installed and built as separate Docker images, then composed into a multi-container, single-stack, single-machine, distributed application.

Warning: The Developer Server is intended only for rapid development and testing purposes. It is not intended for nor is it supported on the production environment.

TIBCO BPM Enterprise on Kubernetes

TIBCO BPM Enterprise on Kubernetes is a production-level implementation, in which TIBCO BPM Enterprise is deployed as a container application into a Kubernetes cluster.

Production-level implementations of a database and an LDAP are also required. Data needed for TIBCO BPM Enterprise to communicate with these systems must be provided as injected configuration data, so it is available to the TIBCO BPM Enterprise application container.

Production-level capabilities such as scaling, high availability, and disaster recovery are provided by Kubernetes' inherent pod and container-level system management capabilities.

Note: It is necessary to configure a database and an LDAP, to support scalability, high availability, and disaster recovery.
