Connection Points

Connection points replace the router process used in previous Process Engine releases, connecting the Process Engine API to an associated isolated region. Connection points are defined in the Content Engine API (the PEConnectionPoint and IsolatedRegion classes) and persisted in the Global Configuration Data (GCD) on the Content Engine. Multiple connection points can reference the same isolated region. The set of connection points defined is reflected in the Content Engine's Domain.PEConnectionPoints property. The Content Engine's Enterprise Manager UI is used to create and manage connection points.

To establish or log on to a Process Engine session a connection point must be specified and the Content Engine host must be accessible.

Setting the Content Engine URI

The Content Engine host URI must be set prior to creating or logging on to a session (calling the VWSession constructors or logon methods).

Note: The Content Engine URI is not needed for Process Engine Web Service connections. The Process Engine Web Service is deployed in the Content Engine Enterprise Java™ Beans (EJB) .EAR file.

You can specify the Content Engine URI in any of the following ways:
