Process Cloud Service Overview

PCS offers rapid design, automate, and manage business processes in the cloud.

It utilizes two work environments the design-time environment used for developing and testing applications, and the runtime environment used for monitoring process applications.

Design-Time Environment:

  • Includes QuickStart Apps to quickly create custom business applications
  • Provides test environments for refining and testing processes
  • Allows process applications (metadata and data) from cloud to on-premises
The Runtime Environment:
  • Makes it easy for you to view, complete, reassign, and delegate tasks
  • Lets you stay organized with filters
  • Lets you share documents and collaborate with others on your team
  • Provides tools to track process flows, view detailed audit trails, troubleshoot, and fix processes

The design-time environment is also called Composer, and the runtime environment is also called the Workspace. The terms design time and Composer, and runtime and Workspace are used interchangeably throughout this guide.

PCS Composer Page

When you click Develop Processes on the Home page, the Composer page opens.
The Composer page is a core component of the design-time environment. It provides access to common application-related features.
