Changing REST server settings

During development, process authors can define REST server settings for external services on the Servers tab for each process application. After a process application is installed on a workflow server in a different environment (for example, test, staging, or production), you might need to configure REST Server properties at run-time.

About this task

You can update the configuration values of a REST server in the following ways:
  • By calling Operations REST APIs:
    • Use the REST Server PUT operation.
    • To update the authentications, use the External Service - REST PUT operation.
  • Using the Process Admin Console, as described in the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Process Admin Console, and then click Installed Apps to show the list of current snapshots on the server.
  2. Click the snapshot that you want to work with.
  3. From the menu bar, click Servers.
    A list of REST servers is displayed.
  4. For each REST server that is listed, you change any of the following:
    • The binding information: Hostname , Port, and Secure Server settings.
    • The SSL Configuration.
    • The authentication setting Authentication switches between Invocation credentials (basic authentication) and User name and password (basic authentication).
    • The timeouts: Request Timeout and Response Timeout.
