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:
- Sign in to Workplace as
an Application Engine Administrator:
- On any computer, open a browser and navigate to:
http://ApplicationEngineServerName:port#/Workplace
- Sign in with the same account that you used to set the
bootstrap preferences.
- Click Admin.
- Click Site Preferences.
- Under General Settings > Tasks,
select a Process Engine Connection Point from
the list.
- Click Apply.
- 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.
- (For new installations only) Initialize the isolated region.
If you initialized the isolated region earlier, do not initialize
it again.
- Click Admin.
- 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.
- Right-click the icon or name of the isolated
region you want to initialize, and select Connect.
- Click Action.
- Click Initialize Isolated Region.
- Click Yes at the prompt asking
if you want to continue.
- Close the Process Configuration Console.
- In Workplace,
click Tasks to confirm that Application Engine is communicating with Process Engine.
- Sign out of Workplace.
