What You Should Know About Worklist Connections

Managing the Worklist Service 22-11 active connection, you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed. For more information, see Section 8.2, Starting and Stopping Managed Servers for WebCenter Application Deployments. See Section 22.5, Troubleshooting Issues with Worklists if the test fails.

22.4.2.2 Registering Worklist Connections Using WLST

Use the WLST command createBPELConnection to create a BPEL server connection. For command syntax and examples, see the section, createBPELConnection in the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. To configure the Worklist service to actively use a new BPEL server connection some additional configuration is required. For more information, see Section 22.4.3.2, Activating a Worklist Connections Using WLST. For information on how to run WLST commands, see Section 1.13.3.1, Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST Commands.

22.4.3 Activating a Worklist Connection

In WebCenter applications, multiple Worklist connections may be active at a time. Multiple connections enable WebCenter users to monitor and manage assignments and notifications from a multiple BPEL servers. From time to time you may need to temporarily disable an active connection so no errors or warnings are logged or displayed in the UI if the Worklist service queries a SOA server which is undergoing maintenance.

22.4.3.1 Activating a Worklist Connections Using Fusion Middleware Control

To activate or disable a Worklist connection: 1. Log in to Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to the home page for WebCenter Spaces or the WebCenter Portal application. For more information, see: ■ Section 6.2, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Spaces ■ Section 6.3, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Portal Applications 2. Do one of the following: Tip: To activate newly registered connections, perform the steps described in Section 22.4.3, Activating a Worklist Connection. Note: To activate newly registered connections, perform the steps described in Section 22.4.3, Activating a Worklist Connection. To start using the new active connection you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed. For more information, see the section, Starting and Stopping WebLogic Managed Servers Using the Command Line in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. 22-12 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter ■ For WebCenter Spaces - From the WebCenter menu, choose Settings Service Configuration . ■ For WebCenter applications - From the Application Deployment menu, choose WebCenter Service Configuration. 3. From the list of services on the WebCenter Services Configuration page, select Worklist . The Manage Worklist Connections table indicates currently active connections if any. 4. Select the Worklist connection you want to activate or disable, and then click Edit .

5. Select the Worklist check box to activate this Worklist connection in the

WebCenter application. Once activated, worklist items from the associated BPEL server display in Worklist task flows. If you need to disable a connection for any reason, deselect this option.

6. Click OK to update the connection.

7. Click Test to verify if the connection you activated works. For a successfully

activated connection, the Test Status message displays the advice that to start using the updated connection, you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed. For more information, see Section 8.2, Starting and Stopping Managed Servers for WebCenter Application Deployments.

22.4.3.2 Activating a Worklist Connections Using WLST

Use the WLST command addWorklistConnection to activate an existing BPEL connection for Worklist services. For command syntax and examples, see the section, addWorklistConnection in the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. To subsequently disable a BPEL connection used by the Worklist service, run the WLST command removeWorklistConnection. Connection details are retained but the connection is no longer named as an active connection. For syntax details and examples, see removeWorklistConnection in the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. Use listWorklistConnections to see which connections are currently active. For information on how to run WLST commands, see Section 1.13.3.1, Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST Commands.

22.4.4 Modifying Worklist Connection Details

This section includes the following subsections: ■ Section 22.4.4.1, Modifying Worklist Connection Details Using Fusion Middleware Control Note: To start using the active connection you must restart the managed server on which the WebCenter application is deployed. For more information, see the section, Starting and Stopping WebLogic Managed Servers Using the Command Line in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide.
