Builder

  • The bonita-la-builder release 8.0.0 is now available.

Deployer

The bonita-la-deployer release 1.0.0 is now available.

Reminder:

  • the bonita-la-deployer requires authentication and authorization on the Rest API by passing credentials (username/password). To ensure that all operations can be performed, we advise you to use the credentials of the Tenant Administrator. It is mandatory to deploy a Business Data Model.

  • you can only log to the default tenant (id 1). Multi-tenant is removed from Bonita Platform 2023.1 (8.0).

  • Prior to deploying a Business Data Model, the bonita-la-deployer put the Tenant in the paused state. It then restarts it after deployment of the BDM. So a downtime of the related Bonita Tenant occurs in this case

What’s new in 3.6.0

Features

Deprecations
