App Dev Cloud with JBoss Rewards Demo

This demo is to install JBoss BPM Suite Rewards Demo in the Cloud based on leveraging the OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) It delivers a fully functioning JBoss BPM Employee Rewards example containerized on OCP.

This is the HR employee rewards demo that provides examples of human task integration, form designer and a custom email work item handler.

Install JBoss Rewards on OpenShift

1. First ensure you have an OpenShift container based installation, such as one of the followling installed first:

• OCP Install Demo

• or your own OpenShift installation.

2. Download and unzip this demo.

3. Add products to installs directory.

4. Run 'init.sh' or 'init.bat' file. 'init.bat' must be run with Administrative privileges:

   # The installation needs to be pointed to a running version
   # of OpenShift, so pass an IP address such as:
   #
   $ ./init.sh 192.168.99.100  # example for OCP.

Log in to JBoss Rewards to start exploring an online employee rewards application (the address will be generated by the init script):

• OCP example: http://rhcs-rewards-demo.192.168.99.100.xip.io/business-central ( u:erics / p:bpmsuite1! )

Note before running demo:

This project can be installed on any OpenShift platform, such as OpenShift Container Platform or Red Hat Container Development Kit. It's possible to install it on any available installation by pointing this installer to an OpenShift IP address:

  $ ./init.sh IP

If for any reason the installation breaks or you want a new installation, just remove the project entry in the OpenShift console and re-run the installation.

Should your local network DNS not handle the resolution of the above address, giving you page not found errors, you can apply the following to your local hosts file:

$ sudo vi /etc/hosts

# add host for OCP demo resulution
192.168.99.100   rhcs-rewards-demo.192.168.99.100.xip.io 

This project is pre-loaded into the JBoss BPM Suite, after starting it you can login, examine the rule, process, and data model from within the various product components.

After claiming the user task as a manager (to approve or deny the award), if task completion takes longer than 1 minutes it will te reassigned back into the group so other managers can claim it. The short time frame of 1 minutes is for demo purposes, should talk about days to complete instead as if a manager that claimed a task got sick and failed to complete the claimed task.

Optional: A task notification has also been setup to alert the members of the group responsible if a task sits longer than 2 minutes without being started (claimed).
