Some BPM Events administration operations are done through the Administration module in Business Process Portal. However, a complete set of administration functions are still only available through the BPM Events Admin—a command line, menu-based tool. The important aspects of operating and administering BPM Events through BPM Events Admin are the:
Management of events
Management of failure recovery
Upgrade of applications (rules) as well as of new versions of the system.
Precautions are required because of BPM Events’s highly dynamic environment: by nature, BPM Events interoperates with other systems—inside or outside the Business Process Server system. Changes in configuration or application upgrades may require completion with minimal interruption. BPM Events allows for dynamic, run-time changes in its rule set-up, and provides a comprehensive recovery capability.
