topic deployment scenarios etc in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/deployment-scenarios-etc/m-p/5737#M1060 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>We are currently looking to standardize on a workflow solution in our organization so i'm going through the Activiti docs and trying out the demo. Next on my list will be Bonita and Oracle BPM suite. JBPM 4 is not being considered because of its dependency on JBOSS AS for the tooling (even though they claim it doesn't). JBPM 3 and OSWorkflow are equally not considered because old / unsupported / not standards based. That is the big picture.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So far everything what i've seen in Activiti looks very promising <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /> I have a few questions still that i'm hoping more experienced Activiti users or developers could help me with</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>- Is the toolsuite (probe/explorer/cycle etc) supported on Weblogic application server (9.2 MP2 or 10.3.x) ? I know it should Just Work ™ but has anybody tried it actually or is running it in a live production environment ?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- Is it recommended to have a process database per application (ACT_* tables in the application schema?) or is a single process database per organization with multiple applications and different workflows pointing to it equally supported ? The latter would require XA for atomic use case execution and from the docs it is not so clear if it this is supported currently.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- Can Activiti play a role in an organization wanting to move long term towards expensive buzzwords like SOA, ESB with the corresponding expensive tooling ? Will Activiti brand itself long term, as a component supporting SOA architectures or is SOA orientation not on the roadmap at all ? (I am not sure these questions make much sense but it is a consideration i need to address for my hierarchy).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- What is the role of SpringSource on the team ? (not really a decision factor just curious <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>BTW, big congratulations on the excellent work so far. To emerge such integrated toolsuite in less than a year is quite impressive and very promising for the future !!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Jorg</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 11:30:54 GMT heymjo 2011-02-02T11:30:54Z deployment scenarios etc https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/deployment-scenarios-etc/m-p/5737#M1060 Hi,We are currently looking to standardize on a workflow solution in our organization so i'm going through the Activiti docs and trying out the demo.
