Introduction to BizSolo


The SBM suite of components provides a framework for modeling and implementing Web-enabled workflow applications, where numerous performers cooperate to complete a process (a collection of tasks). BizSolo and its application development interface, BizSolo Designer, are parts of the SBM suite that make it easier to develop and deploy business presses.

Where to use BizSolo

 Develop

a BizSolo process that is integrated as an individual workstep into a larger BizLogic process. e.g. an approval process that requires several levels of management review and approval, can be defined, then used as a single workstep in a business process, saving development time and computer overhead.

Where to use BizSolo

 Develop

a stand-alone process. BizSolo can be used to develop a standalone Web-based application that may include Adapters that can access BizLogic or other external sources.  Replace a BizLogic Start workstep. A BizSolo process may also be used as the Start workstep in a BizLogic process.

BizSolo Components


BizSolo consists of three major components:

1. 2. 3.

The BizSolo Server, BizSolo Designer, and The Admin Interface.

BizSolo Server


The BizSolo Server runs on the servlet engine process. The BizSolo Server consists of two major components:
BizSolo Manager. BizSolo Manager is responsible for:

 

Dispatching BizSolo processes Maintaining the list of all installed BizSolo processes Interfacing with the BizSolo installer to install/uninstall BizSolo processes

BizSolo Server


BizSolo Installer. The BizSolo installer is

responsible for generating the interfaces for a given process template and then creating and adding the instance of the process template to the list of installed processes that are managed by the BizSolo manager.The BizSolo installer parses the XML document generated by BizSolo Designer. Additionally, the installer creates a JSP file for each workstep in the process flow. The JSP file is used to create the servlet that generates the interface the user interacts with.

BizSolo Designer


BizSolo Designer is a graphic tool used to develop process templates for BizSolo applications, and is, in many ways, similar to BizLogic Designer.

Admin Interface


Admin interface that is a web interface of BPM portal that is used to Install, Publish and Uninstall the BizSolo applications.

Differences in BizSolo Designer and BizLogic Designer

 

No multiple performers. The features related to supporting multiple performers are eliminated in BizSolo. No rules or events. The features related to supporting rules are eliminated in BizSolo. No events are generated by the BizSolo Server during running of the process.

 

 

No simulations. BizSolo does not support configuring or running business process simulations. Fewer format choices. BizSolo generates JSP-based Web applications (i.e., JSP forms with HTML interfaces) using XSL. BizLogic Designer generates a wider range of formats, including a predefined HTML format, forms defined using the Form Editor, custom JSP using XSL, or Flow (BizSolo) or Flow (private) formats. No workitems. The concept of a workitem does not exist in BizSolo, as there is only one performer. Fewer Connectors. BizSolo Designer only supports the Or-Join connector. The And-Join, Split and Exclusive Or-Join connectors available in BizLogic Designer are not supported in BizSolo Designer.

Features of BizSolo Designer Worksteps

 

BizSolo worksteps are slightly different from BizLogic worksteps. Each BizSolo workstep can generate hyperlinks to connect workstep interfaces. In contrast, BizLogic does not allow linking to other workstep interfaces, and forces the user to click a Submit or Complete button to move the process forward to the next step and continue the application. The concept of the Adapter workstep in BizSolo is slightly different from a BizLogic Adapter workstep. The mapping of Adapter methods and dataslots is automatic. The Adapters are developed as subclasses of the GenericAction class. By default, the commit method is used. All workstep interfaces are generated during the BizSolo process installation.

BizSolo and BizLogic Interaction

There are three ways in which BizSolo and BizLogic interact:


In a BizSolo application, that creates a BizLogic process using a PAKCreatePI adapter. For more information, see Using the PAKCreatePI Adapter on page 115 of BizSolo Users guide. In a BizLogic application, using a WebApp workstep (or an Activity workstep using a Flow (BizSolo WebApp) or Flow (private) form) setup in BizLogic Designer. In a BizLogic application, using a Start workstep with a WebApp form setup in BizLogic Designer. In addition to the basic settings for accessing the BizSolo process from BizLogic, you must add an adapter, in this case, the PAKCreatePI adapter at the end of the BizSolo process to trigger the BizLogic application.
