How to put the JBoss HR Employee Rewards project into the Cloud

App Dev Cloud with JBoss BPM Rewards
process project.

We have been discussing why application developers can't ignore their stack anymore in the App Dev Cloud Stack series.

We talked about the various layers from the bottom up, but have yet to provide you with any application development tooling beyond the Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK). All you have so far is an easy to install project called the Container Development Kit Install Demo.

We then provided two getting started projects with JBoss BRMS and JBoss BPM Suite products running on the Red Hat CDK. These were just initial setups of the products and the projects you can create there are left up to you to develop.

Today we bring you an HR employee rewards example with the JBoss BPM Rewards process running on the OpenShift Enterprise layer of your stack, provided by our Red Hat CDK installation.

Watch the JBoss BPM Rewards process
project build.

You can now fully demo and leverage an human resources process example based on JBoss BPM Suite through the business central web console running containerized on an OSE pod.

Rewards process in the Cloud

We will be leveraging previous work that installs the Red Hat CDK. The Red Hat CDK is packaged into a RHEL 7 virtual machine that you can start on your machine after installing this project. There are several choices provided with pre-configured installations, but they all include the basic setup for Docker and the tools needed to start leveraging Docker based containers.

The following container must be started after installing this project for you to get started with the JBoss BPM Rewards process project::

• OpenShift Enterprise - a containerized version of OpenShift Enterprise can be started that can be accesses through a Web console in your browser or via the OpenShift command line tools. Explore your very own private PaaS developer experience with this container.

Now that the you have the OpenShift Enterprise image up and running, you can start moving the JBoss BPM Rewards project into the Cloud with the following steps:

1. First complete the installation and start the OpenShift image supplied in the cdk-install-demo.
2. Install OpenShift Client Tools if you have not done so previously.
3. Download and unzip this demo.
   
4. Add products to installs directory.
5. Run 'init.sh' or 'init.bat' file. 'init.bat' must be run with Administrative privileges.

Now you are up and running with a fully installed, Cloud ready JBoss BPM Rewards process project!
