Different Configurations (“Deployment Environments”)

Standard Process Center (not on z/OS)

� Work with process applications authored in IBM® Process Designer.

Standard Process Server (not on z/OS)

� Run process applications that deployed from Standard Process Center.

Advanced Process Center (not on z/OS)

� Work with process apps authored in Process Designer & IBM Integration Designer.

� Includes the Standard Process Center deployment environment function.

Advanced Process Server

� Run process applications deployed from the Advanced Process Center, or run modules

deployed directly.

� Includes all of the Standard Process Server deployment environment function.

Advanced-only Process Server

� Run SCA modules only. You deploy these modules from the command line or the

WebSphere® administrative console.

� Equivalent of WebSphere Process Server - enables function in the Advanced Process Server DE, but not the function in the Standard Process Server DE.
