Notes:

  1. Bonita can be executed on Java 8 or 11. All development artifacts (connectors, REST API extensions, etc) must be compiled with Java 8 byte code (target version). Bonita 2021.1 (7.12) is the latest version fully compatible with java 8 in production and development environment. JRE or JDK 11+ will be required to run. Bonita 2021.2+ won’t be operated on Java 8.

  2. Memory usage: In a Studio, by default, the embedded Tomcat server is started with a maximum memory allocation set to 512Mo. Depending on your usage you may need to increase this value.

  3. Your database must be configured to use the UTF-8 character set.

  4. MySQL must be configured to use UTF-8, we recommend using utf8mb4 because utf8mb3 is deprecated, see MySQL documentation. MySQL must be configured with innoDB storage engine.

  5. Oracle must be configured using AL32UTF8 character set to store properly all Char data
