Deployment is the act of publishing your BPEL process to A Process Server where it can run.

In Process Developer, you create the BPEL process and associated resources required for the Process Server. You then create a process deployment descriptor. You package the deployment descriptor and all associated resources in a business process archive and export it to the server.

When your process runs, the Process Server ensures that the correct partner services and messages interact with your process.

The Process Server uses the WS Addressing protocol to identify the partner endpoints that the process communicates with.
