In order to run a Process application or applet for FileNet Open Client, you must deploy it on your web server.
Caution If you upgrade to a new Open Client,
PJAC, or Process Engine version, you must redeploy all existing custom
applications and applets. Existing applications/applets, including all Java
Step Processors and Launch Step Processors, should be recompiled and then redeployed
using the procedure below. If you get compiling errors, for example for Step
Processors, correct your old Processor applications/applets by comparing them
to the new version's sample Java Step Processors (see Java
Step Processor Sample Files and Java
Launch Step Processor Sample Files).
To deploy a Java application/applet, such as a custom Java Step or Launch Step Processor, on the web server, use the following procedure (as an example, the out-of-the-box Java Step and Launch Step Processor applets, e.g., FnSPAppletPage.aspx and its ASPX code-behind file, are shown in the procedure):
Note This procedure assumes that you have already installed the Process Development Environment (see Installing the Process Development Environment), have installed and configured the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in its default directory to avoid JiGlue problems and that you have included both the JDK and the pw.jar file in your CLASSPATH, have compiled your application files, and have created and signed a JAR file (with a Netscape Object Signing Certificate) for your application/applet.
plugInCtrl.AppletClassName = "filenet.vw.apps.steps.tabbed.VWTabbedStepApplet"
plugInCtrl.AppletClassName = "newStep.FnSPApplet"
Private m_jarArchiveValue As String = "pw.jar"
To:
Private m_jarArchiveValue As String = "pw.jar, mynewjar.jar"
(Do not delete pw.jar; just add your JAR file.) Close and save the file.
Note: You can also, if you wish, place your JAR file in another directory. However, since the JAR file path is relative to "\FnOpenClient\eProcess\DownLoad", you must specify the path. If you do this and use unified logon, the folder must have Anonymous Access Enabled. Remember, as previously indicated, the JAR file must be signed (for details, see Signing a Jar File).
Once you have deployed your Step Processor, you will need to create the workflow (if you have not already done so), configure the server for the web application and add the new or updated Step Processor to the workflow.
If you have not already done so, using the Process Designer, create a workflow. For details see Help for Process Designer on the Process Documentation for FileNet Image Manager CD.
