Progress Corticon products

Progress Corticon distinguishes its development toolsets from its server deployment environments.

  • Corticon Studio is the Windows-based development environment for creating and testing business rules:
    • When installed as a standalone application, Corticon Studio provides a complete Eclipse development environment for Corticon in the Corticon Designer perspective. You can use this Eclipse installation as the basis for adding other Eclipse tools.
    • When installed into an appropriate existing Eclipse environment, Corticon integrates with installed Eclipse tools to enable you to develop Corticon applications in the Corticon Designer perspective.
    Note: Refer to How to install Corticon Studio plugins into an existing Eclipse for details about integrating Corticon Studio into an existing Eclipse environment.
  • Corticon Servers implement and manage web services and in-process servers for deploying business rules defined in Corticon Studio:
    • Corticon Server for Java is supported on various application servers, and client web browsers. After you install it on a supported Windows platform, its deployment artifacts can be redeployed on various UNIX and Linux web service platforms as Corticon Decision Services.
    • Corticon Server for .NET facilitates deployment of Corticon Decision Services on Windows .NET Framework and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
    • Corticon Web Console enables administration of multiple remote Corticon Servers. A Web Console server is deployed into an application server, and then is accessed by users through authenticated web browser connections.
