i downloaded 6.4.2 and deployed flowable-rest.war and flowable-modeler.war to tomcat.

then l login [http://localhost:8080/flowable-modeler/#/processes](http://localhost:8080/flowable-modeler/#/processes) with admin/test , create my first process named process-f1 then  
go to /flowable-modeler/#/apps to publish the process ,

but the process is not listed in the rest api  
[http://localhost:8080/flowable-rest/service/repository/deployments](http://localhost:8080/flowable-rest/service/repository/deployments)

what’s the problem?

i can see the process is listed under [http://localhost:8080/flowable-task/workflow/#/processes](http://localhost:8080/flowable-task/workflow/#/processes),

but why not under [http://localhost:8080/flowable-rest/service/repository/deployments](http://localhost:8080/flowable-rest/service/repository/deployments)?

There is a difference between the Flowable Modeler UI application and the Flowable Engines.

When you create a process in the Flowable Modeler it is persisted in a separate tables. In order to make it visible via the Flowable REST APIs you would need to create an app and publish it.

Have a look at [Instant Gratification with Flowable 6](https://paulhh.wordpress.com/2017/01/31/flowable-6-instant-gratification/) by @phh in order to better understand the engines and the applications
