Developing for Process Open Client

This section provides an introduction to the concepts, modules, approaches, and code used to develop Process applications and applets for Open Client and is intended for developers who are extending or customizing FileNet Open Client out-of-the-box applications or who are creating their own custom workflow processing applications/applets for Process Engine services. Developing Process applications may include creating/extending applications for Process Engine services, modifying the interface to Process Engine services, creating new customized HTML or Java™ Process applications/applets, modifying the sample out-of-the-box Step Processor and Launch Step Processor applications/applets, etc. provided with the Process Development Environment and developer toolkits included with your FileNet product, and so on.

This section is Process Open Client-specific. For more comprehensive and detailed programming guidance on developing Process applications, refer to the Help for Process Developers on the Process Documentation for FileNet Image Manager CD or directly to the out-of-the-box modules and related code provided with the product. For general guidelines on developing ASPX pages for Open Client, see Developing ASPX Pages for Open Client, elsewhere in this guide.

Note:  An understanding of FileNet Process development, Java, COM, ASP.NET, HTML, XML, RMI, JNI, and Visual Basic programming is a prerequisite for this section. Familiarity with the ASP.NET SDK and Visual Studio, while helpful, is not, however, an absolute requirement for this section. You should also have some experience using the Sun Microsystems Java Software Development Kit (SDK) or the JDK for your platform.
