Managing online and offline process servers from the Process Center console

From the Process Center console, repository administrators can manage the online and offline servers that are available to Process Center. You'll find these servers listed in the Servers tab.

As a non-admin user, you can see the list of servers, their type and status, and process application details if you have access to that application. However, you can't perform the actions an admin user can perform.

An online process server is actively connected to Process Center. If a process server is set up to be online, it will connect to Process Center when it starts and will notify Process Center of its settings. An online process server also periodically updates Process Center with data about the installed snapshots.

Note: You can also take an online server offline, which overrides the process server settings and prevents it from coming online.

An offline server is configured to work with runtime process servers that are not connected to IBM® BPM so that you can manage offline snapshot deployment packages for a particular environment. The method for deploying process application snapshots to an offline process server differs from the method for deploying process application snapshots to an online process server.

Use the IBM BPM console and ensure you have repository administrator access to perform the following tasks.
