About Task Engine on Integration Server

In a typical webMethods installation Task Engine and Process Engine reside on different runtimes - IBM My webMethods Server and Integration Server; and communicate over the network to exchange data between processes and tasks. You can install IBM webMethods BPM Task Engine as a layered product on Integration Server and benefit from direct in-process communication with Process Engine on a single runtime, while keeping the task administration and end-user interfaces on a separate IBM My webMethods Server node, or use another server to host your custom task user interfaces.

When you install Task Engine on Integration Server, Task Engine uses the database, together with Universal Messaging as a JMS provider to communicate and synchronize with the IBM My webMethods Server instance that hosts the task administration interfaces.

IBM My webMethods Server displays the Task Engine instance, running on Integration Server as a cluster node on the Cluster Administration page in My webMethods, but does not provide status information or administration options for the node.
