SBM Composer
is the visual design component of
Serena Business
Manager
(SBM).
Use
SBM Composer to
design the structure of a process app, which can contain applications and
orchestrations.
Applications and orchestrations contain workflows that coordinate the
flow of information through business processes. Application workflows
coordinate the work of people; orchestrations coordinate Web service-enabled
systems. In
SBM Composer,
design tasks include:
- Defining workflows that control the flow of data
- Creating roles that control the actions users can perform and the
information they can access
- Designing custom forms that present "view" and "update" pages to your
users
- Defining the events and workflows used by orchestrations
After process apps are designed, they are deployed to a runtime
environment, where the processes are run by two engines: the
Application Engine
runs applications workflows and the
Orchestration Engine
runs orchestration workflows.
SBM Composer
provides two mechanisms to deploy a design to a runtime environment:
- You can publish a process app to the
SBM Application
Repository,
from which an administrator can deploy the process app to the target
environment.
- When administrative control is not needed, you can use the quick
deploy command in
SBM Composer
to directly deploy a process app through the
Application
Repository
to a specified environment.
Once a process app is deployed, use the
SBM Application Administrator
to perform configuration tasks, such as creating projects that store process
items, assigning users to roles, and creating notifications. Once configuration
tasks are complete, the process app is ready for users.
