This demo is to install a Travel Agency process driven application in the Cloud based on the OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). It contains multiple web services for looking up data for the process and rules to calculate pricing. Furthermore, there are several tasks that can be activated to evaluate pricing and to review the final booking data before completing the booking. After acquiring a sister travel agency, our solution needs to remain online for the coming booking season, but we want to leverage the existing data model in place while linking booking information back to both travel agencies back-end data stores. Using JBoss Data Virtualization we demonstrate how to update data results in both backing data stores, with results being viewable directly in JBoss BPM Suite BAM Dashboards. The backing services make use of disparate data sources integrated and exposed as services for use in this project.
This is an online employee travel booking process project. It contains multiple web services for looking up data for the process and rules to calculate pricing. Furthermore, there are several tasks that can be activated to evaluate pricing and to review the final booking data before completing the booking.
