Deploying an Open Client HTML Step or Launch Step Processor

Before you deploy HTML applications, it is recommended that you deploy (without modifying) and run the sample HTML Step Processor and/or Launch Step Processor applications or applets supplied with Open Client and your Process Development Environment. Successfully deploying and running these sample Processors will help verify that your Web server is correctly set up for Process applications.

Deployment of ASPX-hosted HTML applications is done in a standard manner for your .NET platform environment. As an example, to deploy an HTML Step Processor, use the following procedure:

Note: If you are migrating to production or need to set up a new isolated region, etc., see Deploying Applications > Deploying to Production in the Help for Process Developers on the Process Documentation for FileNet Image Manager CD.

  1. On your Open Client Web server (if you have not done so already):
    1. Create a new directory for an HTML Step Processor in the \Program Files\FileNet\IDM\Web\FNOpenClient\eprocess\StepProcs\HTML directory (at the same level as the \OOTB directory). If you are using Visual Studio, you can add a new folder. For HTML Launch Step Processor, create a new directory in the \Program Files\FileNet\IDM\Web\FNOpenClient\eprocess\Launchers\HTML directory.
    2. Name the directory (typically according to the application function; for example: \LoanApprovalStepProcessor).
    3. Copy the contents of the directory containing the HTML Step Processor. That is, copy the top-level ASPX page, its code-behind .aspx.vb file and all related application files into the new directory; e.g., \LoanApprovalStepProcessor. For example, for the out-of-the-box sample HTML Step Processor, you would copy the \Program Files\FileNet\IDM\Web\FNOpenClient\ eprocess\StepProcs\HTML\OOTB directory into the new directory.
    4. Configure the Step Processor using the Process Configuration Console. For information, see Help for Process Configuration Console on the Process Documentation for FileNet Image Manager CD.
  2. If you have not already done so, configure the Web server for the FileNet Web application (Open Client).
  3. If you have not already done so, using the Process Designer, create a workflow. For details see Help for Process Designer on the Process Documentation for FileNet Image Manager CD.
  4. Add the Step Processor to the workflow.
