Disaster recovery for IBM Business Automation Workflow

How To


Summary

In the IBM developerWorks article "Disaster recovery guidance for IBM Business Process Manager", published in 2015, Chris Richardson described the key concepts regarding IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) disaster recovery and the approaches you can take to ensure your business requirements are available and can be recovered. Those techniques apply to IBM BPM V8.6 and earlier versions.

However, with IBM Business Automation Workflow 18.0.0.1 and later versions, IBM BPM and IBM Case Manager have been unified into one product, and new topology options support the use of the IBM FileNet Content Platform Engine (CPE) to run case capabilities.

Business Automation Workflow includes an embedded content platform engine to ease configuration and support scenarios in which documents are not shared across the enterprise. When you need a true enterprise content store and independent scalability of the FileNet CPE, you can also configure a separated CPE to work with Business Automation Workflow, which is called an external CPE from the Business Automation Workflow perspective.

If you configure Business Automation Workflow to use only the IBM BPM capabilities with the embedded CPE, the disaster-recovery approaches described for IBM BPM still apply.

If you configure Business Automation Workflow to use case capabilities with an external CPE, there are some differences in the topology and configuration that require the disaster-recovery approach to be updated.

The following information describes the disaster-recovery approach for Business Automation Workflow when you use an external CPE.
