Adding a server configuration

Configure servers that your process application or toolkit uses.

About this task

To set server configurations:

Procedure

  1. Select the Servers tab from the Process App Settings editor. You will see the Process App Settings editor when you first click Open in Designer from a newly created process application in the Process Center. Alternatively you can select Process App Settings from the drop-down list on the toolbar in Process Designer.
  2. Beneath the Servers heading click Add to add a new server configuration.
  3. Beneath the Server Details heading, enter a meaningful name for server.
  4. Click the Type cell for the newly entered variable and select one of the available options:
    Type Description
    ILOG Rules Server Use to connect to an ILOG Rule Execution Server. In the Default field, specify a URL that includes the hostname, domain, and port number. For example:

    http://myHost.labwide.ibm.com:9080

    A port number must be specified in the URL for a Decision service to be discovered.

    The other fields will automatically be populated with the same URL and can all use the same port number. For more information Adding a JRules Decision Service component to a service.
    Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Server Use the Enterprise Content Management Server selection to connect to an Enterprise Content Management server. In the Hostname field, specify an IP address or a hostname and domain (but do not specify http:// or another protocol). For example:

    myHost.labwide.ibm.com

    For more information, see Adding an Enterprise Content Management server.
    IBM Content Integrator Server Use the IBM Content Integrator connector to access an ECM repository. Enter the connector name and URLs for the servers (default, development, test, etc). In the Default field, specify a URL that includes the hostname, domain, port number, and context root (which is configurable during deployment of the SOA web service). For example:

    http://myHost.labwide.ibm.com:9080/vbr_soa

    The other fields will automatically be populated with the same URL and can all use the same port number.

    For more information, see Choosing the type of documents to attach to a heritage coach.

    Note: If you import a process application from an IBM® BPM export (.twx) file that was created before Business Process Manager 7.5.1 and the process application references an IBM Content Integrator Server, the connector name will be lost and you will need to manually specify it again in the Servers tab of the Process App Settings editor.
    IBM Case Manager Server Use to integrate a business process developed in IBM Process Designer with a case management case in IBM Case Manager. In the Hostname field, specify an IP address or a hostname and domain (but do not specify http:// or another protocol). For example:

    myHost.labwide.ibm.com

    For more information, see Adding an IBM Case Manager server.
    IBM Connections Server Use to enable integration with IBM Connections so that business card information displays when users click an avatar or a name. With IBM Connections V4.0 or later, you also can enable users to, after they set preferences, receive notifications in IBM Connections when new tasks are assigned to them.
    Important: You must set the environment type to match the environment type of Process Server or Process Center unless you set the environment type to Default. The default environment type works regardless of the environment type of Process Server or Process Center.
    IBM Sametime Server Use to enable instant messaging support, which lets users communicate with others in their organization as they work on process activities. Your administrator must configure your Process Portal environment for IBM Lotus Sametime Connect integration and send you the Sametime Connect server location. For an IP address, use the following pattern where sthost is the name of the Sametime Connect server and secureport is the port of the Sametime Connect server:

    https://sthost:secureport/stwebclient/popup.jsp

    For more information, see Enabling Sametime Connect integration for Process Portal and Enabling IBM Connections integration for Process Portal.
    Web Service Server Use to integrate a business process developed inProcess Designer with a web service. In the WSDL URL field, specify the URL of the web service server. For example:

    http://mycorporation.com/webservice

    For more information, see Adding a web services server.
  5. Enter the server connection details.
