Different engines, same database?

Hi there,

I want to use the Bonita engine in a custom build web application, but use the proces data of the portal. Is it possible to use an application specific bontia.home directory, with an own engine instance and use the same (MySQL) database as the portal does?

Regards!

Hello Pierre.

You can certainly use Bonita APIs to access the engine in your own custom built web application.

When you see items in the Portal such as available tasks, that data is data the Portal gets from the Engine. It isn't the Portal's data; its the Engine's data.

So when you say you want to have your custom web application use the Portal's data, what you really want is to use the APIs to have your web application get data from the Engine.

When you ask

Is it possible to use an application specific bontia.home directory, with an own engine instance and use the same (MySQL) database as the portal does?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. However, it may not be relevant as the Portal gets data from the Engine and it doesn't have its own database.

I hope this helps.
