Configure step processor locations

Use the Step Processor Locations dialog box to specify the locations of launch or step processor deployed for your web applications. Each location must be relative to the base directory for the web application as defined in the URL Template.

For example, if the URL for the default html step processor looks like this, ...

Default html step processor URL with  Base server URL = webserver:8080/Workplace/, Base directory (URL Template) = eprocess/stepprocs/, Location = html/ootb/StepApproval.jsp

then the URL for a custom step processor for the same web application might look like this ...

Custom html step processor URL with  Base server URL = webserver:8080/Workplace/, Base directory (URL Template) = eprocess/stepprocs/, Location = custom/MyStepProcessor.jsp

The URL for a custom step processor for a different web application might look like this...

Custom html step processor URL for different web application with Base server URL = webserver:8080/MyWebApp/, Base directory (URL Template) = stepprocessors/, Location = html/NewStepProcessor.jsp

See the Help for Process Development for information about developing custom step processors.
