You can edit Enterprise Content Manager server settings
for installed process application snapshots using the Process Admin
Console.
About this task
A new type of server has been added for IBM Business Process
Manager 8.0, an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) server. You can
configure connection information for ECM servers in IBM Process Designer.
You can edit the settings for installed snapshots in the Process Admin
Console. Changes there are applied to the existing instances. You
must specify separate settings for each server that is being used.
Procedure
- Log in to the Process Admin Console and
select Installed Apps. You
see the list of installed snapshots.
- Click a snapshot and select the Servers tab. You will see entries on the Servers page only if the
process application snapshot that you selected has servers specified.
- Select a server from the list. The current
server settings are displayed.
- You can edit any of the fields.
- Hostname: The hostname or IP address of
the Enterprise Content Management server.
- Port: The port number of the Enterprise
Content Management server.
- Context Path: The path to the application
on the server. This context is different for each product.
- Secure: Select Secure if
you want your service to be secure, that is, if you want to use the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) protocol. You will need
to configure the security. Setting up HTTPS security is described
in Accessing an Enterprise Content Management server using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
- Repository: The name of your repository.
- Connection User ID: The user ID to connect
to the Enterprise Content Management server.
- Password: The password for the ID that
you are using to connect to the Enterprise Content Management server.
- Always use this connection information:
Selected by default. Only this user ID and password will be used for
authentication. Selecting this check box means this user ID and password
overrides any other user information. Remove this option if you have
single sign-on enabled between BPM and the ECM server and would like
to have the user context propagated to the ECM server when called
from a human service or coach.
- Click Test Connection to check the
settings. If any settings are incorrect, you receive an error message.
- Click Apply or Cancel. The Apply and Cancel options are available as soon as you change
a value in any of the fields. When you click Apply,
the server will check the settings. If any settings are incorrect,
you will receive an error message. If you click Cancel, the settings
revert to what was there before you started editing.
Results
ECM server configuration data is included in the process application
settings.
