Managing workflow servers

Workflow servers run instances of the processes created in the designer. In your development environment, the playback server enables you to run processes as you build them. When you are ready, you can install and run those same processes on the workflow servers in your test and production environments. Because workflow servers play such a vital role, you should monitor their performance and ensure that all necessary set up and configuration is complete when you install and run test or production versions of your processes.

The following sections explain how to access the Process Admin Console to perform administrative tasks and also provide a list of the types of tasks that you can perform with links to detailed information and procedures.

The Process Admin Console enables you to manage the workflow servers in your runtime environments (development, test, staging, and production) as well as the playback server.
