Configuring and transferring workflows

After you configure an IBM® Enterprise Records file plan object store (FPOS), there are a few workflow tasks you can complete.

About this task

You can configure workflows by configuring a connection point and component queues. You can also transfer IBM Enterprise Records workflows definitions from the FPOS to the Process Engine or Content Platform Engine.

Procedure

To transfer workflows by using Configuration Manager:

Important: Before you complete the following task, complete the subtopics under the topic entitled Configuring Workflows and then return to this step.

  1. Complete the Configure Workflows task. Before you complete the Transfer Workflows task, you must configure a connection point to the region and configure the component queues for IBM Enterprise Records workflows.
    • This task creates a code module that contains a list of JAR files that are needed for the component queues operations for IBM Enterprise Records workflows.
    • This task checks in the code module to the object store of the connection point in the CodeModules folder.
    • This task also imports the operations into the component queues of the specified connection point by using the RMComponentConfiguration.xml file in the specified workflow configuration directory. For example, you might use the file in the EnterpriseRecords\Workflow\configureRMworkflow directory.
    • This task sets the JAAS credentials with the user name and password for the RM_Operations and RM_Workflow_Util component queues.
    • This task sets the server base URL for IBM Enterprise Records and IBM Content Navigator web applications.
    Important: Complete this task to configure IBM Enterprise Records workflows for Content Platform Engine V5.2 to use the current version of IBM FileNet® P8Component Manager. If you want to configure the workflows to use an earlier version of IBM FileNet P8 Component Manager (legacy Component Manager), you must complete different configuring workflows.
  2. Finish the Complete the Transfer Workflows task. The workflows must be transferred before they can be run. An FPOS and a Connection Point to the region must be specified.
