Process Orchestration

The Process Orchestration Web Service can be referenced from the Process Designer or invoked from external clients. (Some examples of external clients are a Microsoft .NET or Java™ Web Services framework).

At the WSDL level, the Process Orchestration Web Service publishes the WSDL operations as a document/literal (non-wrapped) SOAP binding.

For invoking other web services, the Process Orchestration Web Service supports invoking web services with one of the following SOAP bindings:

Note: RPC/literal is not supported.

The URL for the Process Orchestration Web Service WSDL is formatted as follows:

(For the current workspace)
    ApplicationEngine_URL/P8BPMWSBroker/wscpCONNECTIONPOINTNAME/wc/workflowName?wsdl

(For a specific workspace)
    ApplicationEngine_URL/P8BPMWSBroker/wscpCONNECTIONPOINTNAME/wc/workflowName/workspaceID?wsdl

The CCEPOWSBroker servlet uses the bootstrap user credential to process work items. If you want to use different credentials, change the init parameters for the servlet by using the application server administration tool. You can also set these values with the P8BPMWSBroker.properties file in the WEB-INF directory of the ccepowsbroker.war file. These values might not be editable after the WAR file is deployed.

The user credential that you specify is used to access the workflow system for web services requests, and to persist SIMULATION documents. Ensure that the user has the following permissions:

Procedures for calling the Process Orchestration Web Service from Process Designer are found in About Web Services In Workflows.
