X4 BPMS components
The X4 BPMS installation consists of the following three components:
Component | Description |
|---|---|
X4 Server | The X4 Server is at the heart of the X4 BPMS. As a central building block in the X4 BPMS architecture, the X4 Server is the central memory for projects and Business Processes, and is responsible for executing and controlling all processes. |
Keycloak | The X4 BPMS uses the open source solution Keycloak for user and role management. Keycloak serves as an identity and access management solution, protects the X4 BPMS from unwanted access, and enables the creation of different users and user groups with different rights and roles. |
X4 Designer | The X4 Designer as an integrated developer tool represents the graphical user interface of the X4 BPMS. Using the X4 Designer, Business Processes can be modeled based on BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) and business rules according to DMN 1.1 (Decision Model and Notation). With the X4 Designer, processes can be graphically created using drag&drop. Moreover, the user can use appropriate input masks to configure the individual process components. |
