Create an Isolated Region Wizard

Define an isolated region as part of the procedure for specifying how Workplace applications will access Process functionality. An isolated region specifies a Process Engine and a subdivision of the workflow database. See Concepts - isolated region for an overview of the procedure.

After you define an isolated region, continue with creation of a connection point to provide the name used by Workplace applications. See Concepts - connection point for more information.

To start the Create an Isolated Region Wizard

  1. Right-click PE Region Ids folder in the domain.
  2. Choose New PE Region ID.

Site

Choose a Site from a list of available Sites that the new Isolated Region is associated with. (The initial default site is also included in this list.)

A site represents a geographical location in the FileNet P8 domain where resources such as server instances are connected by a Local Area Network. Content Engine creates a default site during installation, and there can be multiple sites within a domain.

Region Data

Enter the following information to identify an isolated region.

DNS Name
The DNS name of either the Process Engine server or the load balancer used to access the isolated region. Enterprise Manager does not validate this DNS name.
Communication Port
The port number used to access the Process Engine server. The default is 32776.
Region Number
A Process database can contain up to 1000 isolated regions. Within a Process database, each isolated region is identified by a unique number ranging from 0 - 999. Isolated region 0 exists in every Process Engine; it contains system data and is reserved for system software use. Users can define regions 1 - 999.

Password

Enter a password that the Process Engine server will use to access the isolated region.

The password ensures that requests received by the Process Engine server are legitimate. The password you enter here must match the password entered when configuring the Process Engine security connection.
