Chapter 11. Managed Process Server

A managed instance requires an available Process Automation Manager controller to start the Process Server.

A Process Automation Manager controller manages the Process Server configuration in a centralized way. Each Process Automation Manager controller can manage multiple configurations at once, and there can be multiple Process Automation Manager controllers in the environment. Managed Process Server can be configured with a list of Process Automation Manager controllers, but will only connect to one at a time.

When the Process Server is configured with a list of Process Automation Manager controllers, it will attempt to connect to each of them at startup until a connection is successfully established with one of them. If a connection cannot be established, the server will not start, even if there is a local storage available with configuration. This ensures consistency and prevents the server from running with redundant configuration.
