FileNet P8 Process Engine, Version 5.0.+             

Verifying that Process Engine can connect to Content Engine by using the Content Engine URI

Verify that Process Engine can connect to the Content Engine by using the Content Engine URI. Failures could indicate problems connecting to the Content Engine or problems with security settings.

Symptoms

Process Task Manager security settings cannot be saved.

Resolving the problem

Verify the Content Engine connection using the Content Engine URI

To verify that the Process Engine server can connect to the Content Engine by using the Content Engine URI and the security information specified in Process Task Manager:
  1. Open a Web browser on the Process Engine server. Enter the Content Engine URI that is configured in Process Task Manager. In these examples, the protocol is HTTP and the attachment protocol is MTOM. The attachment protocol can also be specified as FNCEWS40DIME.
    Application server type Web page address
    IBM® WebSphere® Application Server http://CEserver:9080/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM/
    Oracle WebLogic Server http://CEserver:7001/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM/
    JBoss Application Server http://CEserver:8080/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM/
  2. If you can connect to the Content Engine by using the URI, try to save the security settings by clicking Apply. If an error is returned, you verified the ability to connect to Content Engine, so security information might not be correct, including the user name, password, or group names. Check the following log files for specific information related to problems with the security settings.
    Operating system Log file location
    UNIX® /opt/IBM/FileNet/ProcessEngine/vwtaskman.log
    Windows® C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ProcessEngine\vwtaskman.log

    The service user name must be a member of the group that is specified in the Process Engine Administrator Group (pe_admin_group). The user name must be entered as a short name. Duplicate short names are not supported.
