Managing Business Process Server applications

Once a user or application developer defines a process template in Business Process Studio, you, as a Business Process Server administrator, can publish and install the process template in the BP Server and load any associated rules into BPM Webflow.
In the Administration module, click Applications > BP Server, to view the BP Server Applications page.
In the BP Server applilcations page, you can use the following radio buttons to filter the applications accordingly:
*Ready to Install: The application available for installation are listed in this page.
*Installed: The installed applications are listed in this page.
*Suspended: The suspended applications are listed.
*Deprecated: If you update any application with newer version, then the older deprecated applications are listed here.
When you open the BP Server Applications page, and if any applications are already installed, the Installed button is selected by default. If there are no applications installed, the Ready to Install buttons is selected.
In general, the BP Server Applications page contains the following tabs:
*Application Name, the name of the application. Business Process Server supports versioning for applications, where a new version can be installed on an existing application. In the case of a versioned application, this displays the name of the application of which the current process template is a version.
*Action: Allows you to perform actions such as publishing and unpublishing a process as a Web service, and refreshing a process template.
*Version Name: Displays the version name of the application.
*Process Type: Displays the process type.
*Group Access: Displays whether the group option is selected in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. Indicates which group of users is allowed to view and execute this project.You can only specify one group in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
*Category: Displays the different type of projects as defined in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
*Inherit ACL, select this check box if you want to inherit permissions of another application with same application name to current application.
*Rule, indicating whether the application contains rules (Yes) or has none (No). If BPM Webflow is not running, then Business Process Server allows you to install or uninstall applications without rules, but BPM Webflow must be running if you want to install/uninstall applications that contain rules.
*Installed Date: Displays the installed date and time of the application.
