Administration

Process Engine Web Service is enabled by default upon installation, and uses the Systinet Server for Java™ to deploy and manage Web services. The Systinet Server Console is the administrative facility.

Using the Systinet Server Console

When Process Engine Web Service is installed, the Systinet Server Console is available at the following URL:

   http://content_engine_host:port/wsi/admin/console

Where content_engine_host is the machine name of the Content Engine host, and port is the port assigned to the Content Engine. To access the Systinet Server Console, you must have a Systinet user name and password. The default user criteria is:

   User Name: admin
   Password: changeit

The default user criteria should be changed immediately after the initial login. The admin account can create additional accounts, and grant privileges to each web service that exists on the Systinet Server host.

The user accounts are stored in the Systinet User Store located on each Systinet Server host. These accounts have no relationship to accounts that are defined in the enterprise directory service or on the local operating system.

You can set up a Systinet Security Domain to create a logical grouping of Systinet servers that use the same user database. Refer to the Systinet Server for Java documentation for more information.

Publishing a Web Service

Although using Process Engine Web Service does not require you to publish a web service, the basic instructions of how to do so using the Systinet Console are included here for your information.

There are two procedures necessary to publish a web service using the Systinet Server:

  1. Add your UDDI registry to the Systinet Server registry directory. The information you supply enables the Systinet Server to discover and publish to this UDDI registry.

    NOTE: Your UDDI registry will almost certainly be configured for HTTPS. If so, you will need to import into the Systinet Server the server certificate for the UDDI registry host. See the topic Set Up Content Engine and Client Transport SSL Security in the IBM FileNet P8 Platform Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.

  2. Publish your web service to your UDDI registry. You need an account on the UDDI registry to publish your service. Refer to your UDDI registry documentation for instructions on setting up an account.

To add a UDDI registry to the Systinet Server registry directory:

  1. Log in to the Systinet Server Console.
  2. Select the UDDI Publishing node. The Login to UDDI Registry form is displayed.
  3. Click Edit UDDI Registries. This displays the form to enter your UDDI registry information.
  4. Click Add Registry. The new registry is added to the directory list.

To publish a web service to your UDDI registry:

  1. Log in to the Systinet Server Console.
  2. Expand the UDDI Publishing node, and select Publish WSDL to UDDI.
  3. Select your UDDI registry from the listing in the UDDI Registry field, and enter the login criteria for your account. The Publish Service to UDDI form is displayed.
  4. Enter the information for your web service and click Publish.

Monitoring Process Engine Web Service

Using the Systinet Server Console, you can use the following monitoring modes to view aspects of web service usage:

To monitor a web service:

  1. Log in to the Systinet Server Console.
  2. Expand the Web Services node. This loads the runtime view of available web services.
  3. Select the service to monitor. Selecting a service brings up the Web Service Management form for that service.
  4. Click Enable for the desired monitoring mode.
