I started BPM development again after 9 years. In my next process requirement, I need to implement some user tasks. When I was checking the documentation I noticed Business Console is being deprecated and 10.15 is the last version I can have it. Previously we didn't have any tasks and we don't have anything with Business Console. I don't want to introduce a new product that is already deprecated. The documentation says, it is not replaced with anything, and it doesn't recommend anything either. It just says, "Use modern frameworks instead", but it doesn't tell me how. I am not familiar with task development and I am not a front end developer either. I am only familiar with BPM. 

My questions are:

1. Do I need Business Console to implement/deploy user tasks?
2. What can I replace Business Console with if it is needed? 
3. How do I use modern frameworks?

Any reply is appreciated. You can point me towards the correct documentation to follow as well. 

Hi Engin,

Refer to the inline comments.

1. Do I need Business Console to implement/deploy user tasks?

         // No, deploying Business Console is not mandatory for implementing or deploying user tasks.User tasks are handled by the webMethods Task Engine, and Business Console is simply one of the UIs                that can interact with it.

      2.What can I replace Business Console with if it is needed? 

       // You can use the traditional MWS (My webMethods Server) task management interface as an alternative. This interface can be made available to users requiring task access. However, it's important to                implement proper user and role management to restrict navigation and limit access to only the task-related pages.

      3.How do I use modern frameworks?

       // I'm not sure if any modern frameworks work directly with MWS, but you can use frontend frameworks by connecting them to the webMethods BPM Task Engine using REST or web service APIs, if       

          those are available.

Hey Hari, 

Thanks for clear the answer. Do I need to install anything to MWS to use task management interface? Another confusing thing for me was, having 2 options to install task client. Would installing WmTaskEngine and WmTaskClient to IS be enough ?
