Using Task Engine on Integration Server with the webMethods Suite

Edit online

The typical flow of actions when using Task Engine on Integration Server with other webMethods products to create, run, administer, and work with user tasks is as follows:

  • A task developer creates a task type in IBM webMethods Designer, or exports an existing task type from a Task Engine instance, running on IBM My webMethods Server.
  • A task developer then deploys the task type to Task Engine on Integration Server using IBM webMethods Deployer.
  • A UI developer creates and configures the task end-user interfaces and connects them to the Task Engine services.
  • A task administrator configures access permissions in My webMethods, as described in Configuring Task Access Permissions.
  • Business processes and task administrators with the appropriate permissions queue instances of the deployed task type.
  • Task end-users work with the custom task user interfaces.
