Setting URL templates

Use the URL Templates window to specify the launch and step processor templates for each web application in the workflow system or isolated region.

The system uses the templates to build the URL for the launch and step processors.

To configure a URL template for a launch processor or step processor for a web application:

  1. Select the workflow system or isolated region you want to modify and click Properties on the toolbar.
  2. Select the Web Applications tab. Note the ID number of the web application you are specifying for a launch processor or step processor.
  3. Click the Advanced icon on the window toolbar.
  4. To add a URL template, click New. Enter an ID number in the Web Application field. The ID for a custom web application must be a number 100 - 999, inclusive.
    Important: To open HTML step processors or allow the custom step processors to be opened from another web application, the ID number you enter must have a corresponding web application ID number in the web application properties.
  5. Enter the Template by using the appropriate format as explained in the following table.
  6. Click OK to return to the main workflow system or isolated region properties window.

The launch step processor URL template uses the format in the following table. Numbers 100 and 199 indicate custom web applications.

Table 1. URL template formats for the listed web applications

Where each parameter number represents the following information:

Table 2. Parameter values and description for the templates in Table 1.
Parameter Description
{0} Server base URL
{1} Launch step processor location
{2} Workflow version (F_WCRevision) or workflow name
