Edit online

Containers:
For 23.0.2, follow these instructions for installing, configuring, and upgrading stand-alone IBM Business Automation Workflow on containers.

For details about the Business Automation Workflow on containers environment, see Container runtime.

Overview

The instructions for stand-alone IBM Business Automation Workflow on containers are similar to the instructions for the Business Automation Workflow Server (or Workflow Runtime) in the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. However, stand-alone IBM Business Automation Workflow on containers is not part of the Cloud Pak for Business Automation deployment.

To understand the roles you'll need, see Cloud Pak roles and personas
To understand important terms, such as operator, custom resource, and pattern, see Understanding Custom resources and patterns

You'll install Workflow Runtime.

The stand-alone Business Automation Workflow configuration includes these components:

Workflow Server (JMS included)
OpenSearch (except for Linux on IBM Z and on IBM Power (ppc64le), where OpenSearch is not included because they support only external Elasticsearch or OpenSearch)
From the Foundation pattern:
