Basic Deployment
A basic deployment is defined as low load, no external OSS, and a single site with no redundancy.
In this situation, a single object state manager (OSM) manages the state of all transactional objects, and a single workflow engine executes workflows. The OSM can even be located in the same host as the workflow engine. This setup is typical for integration with the DirX directory server for offline processing.
Because only one site hosts the Workflow application, the transactional objects, which are the directory entries that trigger workflows and whose consistency is governed by the OSM, need to be replicated and accessible in only one of the directory servers, the one used by the OSM.
