Set up Process
After installing Process
for Open Client, you must complete the following tasks to enable Process
activity:
- Start Process Services on the workflow server if it is not already running.
For more information, see "Starting and stopping Process Service"
in the Help for Task Manager.
- Start the Pooled Process Manager (PPM) on the Process Engine. For more information,
see "About the Pooled Process Manager (PPM)" in the Help for PPM
Administrators.
- Start one or more routers on the web server. For more information, see "About
the Process Router" in the Help for Task Manager.
- For each router you started, initialize the corresponding isolated region.
For more information, see "Initialize an isolated region" in the
Help for Process
Configuration Console.
The Process
preferences allow you to:
- Specify the milestone level visible to workflow participants
- Designate the default router that users access when logging in to the workflow
server
- Designate the default RMI port on which routers run
- Make routers running on additional RMI ports available to users at workflow
server login
In addition, you can use various configuration options within Process
to customize your Process
application. For example, you can set up email notification of workflow activity
or enable automatic workflow launching. For details see "About Configuration"
in Help for Process
Administrators. You can also create work queues to hold work that can be completed
by one of multiple users rather than by a specific user. See "Configuring
work and user queues" in Help for Process
Configuration Console for details.
Be sure to also set the Documentation server preference to enable access to
the Help for Process.
