You can set the option that determines how changes in the editor are saved in the
Process Designer by adding the
collaboration-mode configuration setting to the
100Custom.xml files.
About this task
When the collaboration-mode configuration setting is set to the value
TP, explicit save is enabled. In this mode, when you edit an artifact in
Process Designer, you must click
Save to persist your changes. After you save your changes, the artifacts
become available to other users for editing. When the collaboration-mode is set
to the value HYBRID, changes in the editor are saved as you make them;
however, other users can view them only in read-only mode. To make the artifacts available to others
for editing, you must click Finish Editing after you complete your changes.
The HYBRID option is available only for the Process Designer. By default, the
collaboration-mode is HYBRID. For more information, see
Saving your changes in Process Designer.
Procedure
To add and enable the collaboration-mode configuration setting in the
100Custom.xml file, complete the following steps:
-
Stop the server for Workflow Center.
-
Open each 100Custom.xml file. For information about the individual
100Custom.xml files that need to be updated and their locations, see the topic
Location of 100Custom configuration files.
-
In each 100Custom.xml file, add the
collaboration-mode setting and associated elements under the
<properties> element, as shown in the following example:
<web-pd>
<collaboration-mode merge="replace">HYBRID</collaboration-mode>
</web-pd>
(If
you want to switch modes, change the value to
TP.)
-
In each 100Custom.xml file, save your changes.
-
In a browser, open each 100Custom.xml file to ensure that it contains no
special characters.
-
Complete one of the following steps:
- In a clustered environment, ensure that the changes are propagated to the nodes by forcing a
synchronization and restarting the deployment environment.
- In a stand-alone server environment, restart the server.
