The BAMOE Management Console received significant updates in BAMOE 9.2.0 and 9.2.1, bringing new features and improvements that make managing, observing, and troubleshooting Business Services across environments easier.
In this post, we'll explore what's new in the latest version of the console and how it helps streamline day-to-day operations.
What is the BAMOE Management Console?
The BAMOE Management Console is a web-based tool designed to simplify the monitoring and management of Business Services and process execution within BAMOE environments. It provides a consolidated user interface that enables developers, operators, and analysts to inspect, control, and troubleshoot Business Process Workflows with ease.
Through a series of dedicated views and interactive panels, it offers:
- Real-time visibility into Process Instances, including their status, execution timeline, and domain-specific data.
- Advanced filtering capabilities that help users quickly locate specific instances.
- Bulk operations such as abort, skip, and retry, which can be executed across multiple Process Instances simultaneously.
- Detailed process inspection, including metadata, process variables, node execution history, and BPMN diagrams reflecting the live progress of the workflow.
- Dedicated views for Jobs, User Tasks, Process Definitions, and Process Instances, enabling fine-grained control over Workflow elements.
- Secure and customizable deployment options, including integration with OIDC Identity Providers for access control and multi Business Services support.
Whether managing development Workflows or operating production services at scale, the BAMOE Management Console provides the visibility and control necessary to administer process-driven applications effectively.
What’s new
The latest update introduces several enhancements focused on usability, visibility, and integration. Highlights include:
Manage multiple Business Services in a single instance
The BAMOE Management Console can now connect to and manage multiple Business Services simultaneously. This allows users to switch between Business Services services quickly and seamlessly, making monitoring and operating large, distributed solutions easier.
Connect to secured Business Services using OIDC Identity Providers
Security has been enhanced with support for connecting to Business Services protected by OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Providers. This enables secure integration with authentication systems such as Keycloak, Auth0, or any other OpenID Connect compliant Identity Provider. Users can now get access credentials directly from the BAMOE Management Console to establish trust-based connections with Business Services.
Aggregate view of all connected Business Services
A new Overview dashboard aggregates data from all connected Business Services, offering a high-level overview of Process Instances statuses, grouped by the Process Name. This unified view helps operators quickly identify issues and react accordingly.
New settings to customize a BAMOE Management Console deployment
With new configuration options, the BAMOE Management Console can now be tailored to fit different operational contexts. Administrators can now define default parameters for OpenID Connect authentication as well as setting a list of pre-defined Business Services that should be automatically connected on start-up.

Improved UI and UX
The user interface has been redesigned to improve navigation and reduce clutter. Elements now use less space, increasing the data density on every page, and ordering or filtering lists are instantaneous and more intuitive.
Impersonation
Users with appropriate RBAC roles will have the option to impersonate other users in order to fulfill User Tasks.
