Automatically Publishing Tasks in a Process

Edit online

About this task

When you build a process containing one or more tasks, the task application project(s) containing those tasks can be automatically published depending on the setting for the Automatically Deploy Task to Task Engine option in the Process Designer preferences. If this preference is not enabled, you must publish each task application project manually to make the tasks in it available to the process.

Note: To view the preference used in the following procedure, you must first enable the advanced properties by clicking The Show/hide Advanced Properties button in the main toolbar.

To enable automatic deployment of tasks

Procedure

  1. In the main menu, click Window > Preferences.
  2. In the preference list, expand IBM and click Process Development > Build and Upload.
  3. On the Build and Upload page, set the Automatically Deploy Task to Task Engine option as desired (Always, Never, or Prompt (default)).

Results

When you click Always, all tasks contained in the process will be published to IBM My webMethods Server each time you build and upload the process (note that in actuality, the task application project(s) containing the tasks are published).
