Verification test of the REST API URL configuration in the BPC Explorer for WebSphere Process Server (WPS)

Content

To check or verity, complete the following steps in the administrative console:

1. Click Applications > WebSphere Enterprise Applications.
   
   
2. Click the appropriate BPCExplorer application name.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Under Web Module Properties, click Environment entries for Web modules.
   
   
   
   
   You can find the configured bfmRESTAPIURL and htmRESTAPIURL values.
   
   
   
   
4. Copy the value string from there, for example: https://your_server.ibm.com:9443/rest/bpm/bfm, and append /v1/processes/filter, which results for example in the following URL: https://your_server.ibm.com:9443/rest/bpm/bfm/v1/processes/filter
   
   
   
5. Copy this URL into a new browser window and try to access it.
   
   
   When the configured BPC Explorer REST API URL is correct, you should see something like the following text:
   
   
   {"items":[{"topLevelProcessInstanceName":"TestProcess","processTemplateID":"_PT:90010133.fed85914.a8b67f6.e81a006e","parentProcessInstanceName":null,"completionTime":null,"name":"fdlkjfa","creationTime":"2011-12-05T14:22:45Z","displayName":"ClaimsHandlingProcess","startTime":"2011-12-05T14:22:45Z","starter":"vmmuser","topLevelProcessInstanceID":"_PI:90030134.e9afc41.b8b67f6.4d11004b","piid":"_PI:90030134.e9afc41.b8b67f6.4d11004b","processTemplateName":"ClaimsHandlingProcess","parentProcessInstanceID":null,"resumptionTime":null,"executionState":"STATE_RUNNING","description":null}],"identifier":"piid"}
   
   
   Otherwise, you need to check the configured URL. For example, check the context rootport and port number. Check these values for the Context for the REST application programming interface (API) in the BPEContainer as shown in the following screen shot:
