Configuring a Custom Data Source

Edit online

About this task

By default, Task Engine stores the precalculated event triggering times in the IBM My webMethods Server database. From the Task Event Orchestrator page, you can configure Task Engine to use Terracotta for storing the precalculated values.

Before you can store precalculated event values to Terracotta, you must configure a Terracotta server. For more information on using Terracotta with webMethods products, see Using BigMemory with IBM webMethods Products.
