By default, when configuring the <ibmPfs_bpdIndexer> tag, process instances are indexed by Process Federation Server in the Federated Data Repository. Your federated systems must be properly set up for process instance indexing. It is also possible to disable process instance indexing in your Process Federation Server configuration file.

Note: If you federate Business Automation Workflow 24.0.0.0, and you configured the federated Business Automation Workflow system to index directly into the Federated Data Repository as described in Enabling the Federated Data Repository process indexing, process instances are then systematically indexed.

Indexing process instances from Process Federation Server

If the federated system is a Business Automation Workflow V20.0.0.1 server or later, no further step is required to support process instance indexing from Process Federation Server.

To support process instance indexing from Process Federation Server for Business Automation Workflow versions earlier than 20.0.0.1, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • If the federated system is a Business Automation Workflow server V18.0.0.2 to V19.0.0.3 (included), you must first install APAR JR61986.
  • If the federated system is a Business Automation Workflow server V18.0.0.1 or earlier and has APAR JR59873 installed, you must first uninstall APAR JR59873 by using Installation Manager.
  • If the federated system is an IBM® BPM server and has APAR JR59873 installed, you must first uninstall APAR JR59873 by using Installation Manager.

Disabling process instance indexing

To disable process instance indexing when process indexing is done by Process Federation Server, set the attribute indexProcessInstances to "false" (the default value is "true) in the configuration element for your federated process system in the Process Federation Server server.xml configuration file, as shown in the following example:
<ibmPfs_federatedSystem>
	id="mySystem"
	indexProcessInstances="false"
	...
</ibmPfs_federatedSystem>
