This chapter describes how to deploy a Business Process Management (BPM) project from Oracle Business Process Composer. Users who have been granted permission can deploy projects directly to runtime.

Deployment is available only within the same environment where the Oracle Business Process Composer application is installed.
Users who are granted project owner permissions can use Oracle Business Process Composer to deploy projects directly to Oracle BPM runtime.

For more information about editing deployed projects, see "Using SOA Composer with Oracle Business Rules at Runtime" in Designing Business Rules with Oracle Business Process Management.

Note:
You should validate your project before creating a deployment plan. Oracle Business Process Composer does not perform any validation when generating the deployment plan.
