Integration Designer prompts for connection information whenever a process application is imported

When a process application is imported into an Integration Designer workspace, an administrative connection to the Process Center server is created. If the Process Center is running on a network deployment environment, then the administrative connection is created for the IBM BPM deployment manager. If the user name and password for the Process Center is the same as for the administrative connection for the deployment manager, then the Process Center server is automatically created. Otherwise, a dialog box opens and prompts you to specify the user name and password for the deployment manager. The dialog box can open many times, which can be intrusive if you are unable to obtain the user name and password.

If you can obtain the user name and password for the deployment manager from your system administrator, specify the user name and password in the User ID and Password field in the dialog box and then click Finish. Otherwise, click Cancel.

If you cannot obtain the user name and password from your system administrator, complete the following steps before you connect to Process Center to prevent the dialog box from opening:

  1. From the Window menu, select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. Expand Business Integration and select Process Center.
  3. Clear the Automatically create a Process Center server when needed check box.
  4. Click OK.

If you are unable to specify the administrative user name and password, you cannot create a Process Center server and test your process applications there. However, you can still test the process application modules on a UTE server.
