Linking to Heritage Process Portal from Process Portal

Process Portal is enabled by default in all IBM® BPM deployment environments. However, your users might also need to work with Heritage Process Portal, for example, if they use IBM Connections or collaborate on work.

About this task

The Process Portal process application contains the RESPONSIVE_PORTAL and RESPONSIVE_WORK client-side human services that you can configure for your environment. The RESPONSIVE_PORTAL client-side human service contains configuration options to enable Heritage Process Portal.

Procedure

  1. In Process Center, open the Process Portal process application in the web Process Designer.
  2. Open the RESPONSIVE_PORTAL client-side human service, go to the Coaches tab, and then open the Portal coach to display the coach views.
  3. Configure the Portal coach to include a link to Heritage Process Portal:
    1. Click anywhere in the coach views pane to display the properties.
    2. In the Configuration tab, select the Show links check box, and then expand the Links section to display the fields for adding the URL information.
    3. Complete one of the following steps:
      • If you are using Process Portal in non-federated mode, the system automatically discovers and populates the link information for Heritage Process Portal if you leave the fields in the Links section blank. If you want to include additional links, you must also manually add the fully qualified link to Heritage Process Portal.
      • If you are using Process Portal in federated mode, enter the name and the fully qualified URL for each Heritage Process Portal that your users need to connect to.
  4. Save your changes.

Results

The next time Process Portal users log in, they see a Links section that contains one or more links to Heritage Process Portal.
