Optional: Enabling the Timeline Visualizer widget to display Business Automation Workflow process activity flow

You can enable the Timeline Visualizer widget in Workflow Runtime environment to display Business Automation Workflow process activities on Cloud Pak for Business Automation.

To create and enable a Case History store:

1. Prepare a database for the Case History store.
   If you plan to use the Timeline Visualizer widget to view Case History over time, you must prepare a database to record extended Case History data.

   For detailed information, see Preparing a database for the case history store

2. Configure a new Case History store.
   To create a new Case History store along with enabling the Case History emitter:
   1. Add Case History database sensitive configuration data to the IBM FileNet Content Manager secret. For more, refer Creating secrets to protect sensitive IBM FileNet Content Manager configuration data.
      For example, you can use the dc_os_label parameter by using value ch, and add chDBUsername and chDBPassword keys with the Case History database credentials into the IBM FileNet Content Manager secret.
   2. Specify other Case History database configuration data in the custom resource file to create a data source in the Content Platform Engine server. For more, refer Datasource parameters
      For example,

      datasource_configuration:
        dc_cpe_datasources:
          - database_name: chdb
            database_port: ‘5432’
            database_servername: <hostname>
            dc_common_cpe_datasource_name: CASEHISTORYDS
            dc_common_cpe_xa_datasource_name: CASEHISTORYDSXA
            dc_database_type: postgresql
            database_ssl_secret_name: chdb-ssl-cert-secert
            dc_os_label: ch
            dc_common_conn_name: ‘jos10_connection’

3. Configure the Case History emitter
   To configure the Case History emitter in the Cloud Pak for Business Automation environment, set the following parameters in the baw_configuration section in the custom resource file.

   Note: For authoring environment, you must set the following parameters in the workflow_authoring_configuration section.

   Table 1. Case History emitter parameters

   Parameter	Description	Example values
   case.case_history_emitter.enable	Whether to enable Case History emitter	true
   case.case_history_emitter.case_history_store_schema_name	Schema name of Case History store	CHSCHEMA
   case.case_history_emitter.dc_common_cpe_datasource_name	Content Platform Engine data source name of Case History store	CASEHISTORYDS

   The following example shows sample values:

   case_history_emitter:
    enable: true
    case_history_store_schema_name: CHSCHEMA
    dc_common_cpe_datasource_name: CASEHISTORYDS
