FileNet P8 Workplace XT, Version 1.1.5              

Enabling the Process Engine Component Integrator

By using the Component Integrator functionality included in the IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform, a step in a workflow can access properties of documents, folders, and other objects in an object store. Using this functionality requires configuration on both Workplace XT and Process Engine servers.

As a post-installation task, you must define workflows that incorporate Content Engine operations in order to use the out-of-the-box Component Integrator functionality. For further details on defining such workflows, see the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Steps > Component Steps > General Properties > Using Content Engine (CE) operations in a workflow.

After the software is installed, users can extend the out-of-the-box Component Integrator functionality so that a workflow step can interact with an external entity such as a Java™ object or Java Messaging Service (JMS) messaging system. For further information, see the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Developing Process Applications > Developing Work Performers / Component Integrator Operations.

To specify the user name and password for the Java adaptor on a Workplace XT server:

  1. Sign in to Workplace XT.

    If you defined the Process Engine Configuration Group on the Security tab of Process Task Manager, you must sign in as a member of either that group or the Process Engine Administrators Group, which was also defined on the Security tab, in order to complete the following steps.

  2. In Workplace XT, click Admin and then 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 clear the Internet Explorer option.

    For further information about the JRE download, click Help in Process Configuration Console, click Process Reference on the help page toolbar, and see the IBM FileNet P8 help topic Concepts > Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

  3. Select the Isolated Region icon that corresponds to the isolated region that you initialized.
  4. Right-click the CE_Operations component queue and select Properties .
  5. On the Adaptor tab of the displayed dialog box, enter a user name and password that will be used for identification and permissions for both Process Engine and potentially any external systems that will be accessed. By default, the user name and password are set to Administrator and <no password>, respectively. If you choose to use another user name and password, they must already exist in the directory service.

    For additional information about the fields on the Adaptor tab, click the Help button. To use the out-of-the-box functionality, it is necessary to modify only the user name and password fields.

  6. Click OK and commit the changes.
