Using the Component Integrator to Build a Work Performer

The Process Component Integrator is a service (runs on the Web server) that provides application integration by enabling the importing of Java components and interfaces (for example, from third party, existing, or legacy applications, or other data sources) in order to make them available in Process workflows, using the Process Configuration Console, Designer, and Task Manager tools. The Component Integrator may be used to help develop a custom Process work performer (a work performer typically performs an operation or set of operations associated with a workflow step, but does not require a user interface).

The Component Integrator contains the following modules:

  • Component Manager: At runtime the Component Manager polls Component Queues for work items that request processing by Java components. The Component Manager connects a work item that is requesting a component to the Java Adapter (next bullet).
  • Component Adapter (Java): A Java Service Adapter executes the interface to the component.

    Note: Open Client 3.3 does not support the use of the JMS Adapter for JMS messages.

For additional information, see Building a Component Integrator-based Work Performer in the Help for Process Developers on the Process Documentation for FileNet Image Manager CD.
