LiquidBPM SDK Features

Cardiff LiquidBPM SDK Components

LiquidBPM is an affordable, componentized and process-based BPM solution that can be easily embedded into enterprise systems and applications. This unique design offers the ultimate flexibility to embed the precise BPM functionality required, thereby ensuring maximum value and the smallest footprint. The Cardiff LiquidBPM SDK product suite consists of the LiquidBPM Engine, LiquidBPM Studio, the LiquidBPM Manager and LiquidBPM BPEL Orchestrator.

Cardiff LiquidBPM Engine
A highly-optimized runtime Java process engine component, the LiquidBPM Engine is the core component of LiquidBPM. Its numerous features include caching, thread-pooling, persistence, clustering, load balancing, notification and scalability. The LiquidBPM Engine's ability to automate processes improves efficiency and increases throughput by enforcing predictable behavior within and between systems.

Cardiff LiquidBPM Studio
The LiquidBPM Studio is a visual design integrated development environment (IDE) for programmers to develop processes by dragging and dropping predefined and custom tasks. The LiquidBPM Studio offers the ability to model complex processes, including sub-processes, attach data as attributes and launch and test data as well as test processes-all without programming. Comprehensive APIs provide developers with unmatched capabilities when writing process applications. Further simplifying matters, included code generators for interfacing with RMI, CORBA, EJB, .NET and Web services enable easy integration with external systems through custom tasks.

Cardiff LiquidBPM Manager
In addition to monitoring the health of the Cardiff LiquidBPM Engine, the LiquidBPM Manager monitors individual processes and system resource consumption. Live processes can be quickly viewed in real time, while process analysis and bottleneck detection tools provide greater insight into active processes. Log and configuration viewing tools are also provided. LiquidBPM Manager ships with a Java and a Web client.

Cardiff LiquidBPM BPEL Orchestrator
The LiquidBPM BPEL Orchestrator offers an extensive set of tools to build and automate business processes that use Web services based on the BPEL4WS standard. BPEL4WS describes a way of defining process flows that interface with multiple Web services to accomplish a business objective. The LiquidBPM BPEL Orchestrator is the first implementation of the BPEL4WS standard that is based on a proven core engine and that includes a comprehensive toolset for design and monitoring.
