Interface ProcessManager

All Superinterfaces:

ADEPT2Service

public interface ProcessManager
extends ADEPT2Service

The process manager persists the data of process instances and templates at runtime and provides access to these objects. This includes handling all access issues like restricting and synchronising access. The corresponding interface is separated into template and instance management.
