Configuring the Process Engine connection point for Application Engine

Before users can access Process Engine tasks and work items from Workplace, you must configure the connection point on the Application Engine.

Make sure that you have already created a Process Engine isolated region and a Process Engine connection point and that the Process Engine software is running.

To configure the connection point:

  1. Sign in to Workplace as an Application Engine Administrator:
    1. On any computer, open a browser and navigate to:

      http://ApplicationEngineServerName:port#/Workplace

    2. Sign in with the same account that you used to set the bootstrap preferences.
  2. Click Admin.
  3. Click Site Preferences.
  4. Under General Settings > Tasks, select a Process Engine Connection Point from the list.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Click Exit.
    Important: Initializing the isolated region, as described in the next step, in an existing environment will destroy all data in the existing region.
  7. (For new installations only) Initialize the isolated region. If you initialized the isolated region earlier, do not initialize it again.
    1. Click Admin.
    2. Click Process Configuration Console.
      If your computer does not have the appropriate Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, you will be prompted to download the JRE at this point; follow the prompts to complete the download. During the installation process, click the Browser tab and enter the following settings:
      • Clear the Internet Explorer option.
      • If you will be using Netscape 6.0, select the Netscape option.
    3. Right-click the icon or name of the isolated region you want to initialize, and select Connect.
    4. Click Action.
    5. Click Initialize Isolated Region.
    6. Click Yes at the prompt asking if you want to continue.
    7. Close the Process Configuration Console.
  8. In Workplace, click Tasks to confirm that Application Engine is communicating with Process Engine.
  9. Sign out of Workplace.
