Activating snapshots for use with Process Portal
If you want exposed items within particular snapshots to display in IBM® Process Portal while those items are being developed in (and reside on) the Workflow Center server, you need to activate the snapshot that contains the version of the items that you want to display. For example, if you are developing a process and you want to start the process in Process Portal, you need to activate the snapshot that contains the version of the process that you want to start.
About this task
Note that only the process is activated
when you activate a process application. If the process application
uses BPEL processes and the associated templates were stopped (as
described in Administering BPEL process and task templates
),
follow the instructions in that section to start the templates.
To activate or deactivate a snapshot, you must be a repository administrator, an administrator for the selected process application or toolkit, or the user who created the process application or toolkit.
Procedure
- In the Workflow Center console, select the Process Apps or Toolkits tab.
- Click to select the process application or toolkit for
which you want to activate a snapshot. If multiple tracks exist, select the track that you want from the drop-down menu.
- Find the snapshot that you want, and then click Activate from its pop-up menu ().
Results
http://[host_name]:[port]/portal
,
providing the name of the host on which Workflow Center server
is installed and the port designated for the server during installation,
you can access the exposed library items in the activated snapshot.
Using the previous example, you can start the exposed process in Process Portal.
