7-2 Administrators Guide for Oracle Imaging and Process Management
Alternately, disable Use Local Content Server and define a pool of Oracle Content Servers. Each connection in the connection pool must be unique. Messages are
then sent to multiple Oracle Content Servers. This option is for load balancing in a clustered environment.
6. Click Next. The
Content Server Connection Security Page is displayed.
7.
Add any additional users required. To add a user, do the following:
a.
Click Add. The Add Security Member Page
is displayed.
b. Select either Search Groups or Search Users, then click Search. A listing of
available groups or users is displayed.
c.
Select the users or groups to be added. You can make multiple selections by holding down the Control or Shift key on your keyboard when making a
selection.
d.
When you have selected all the users or groups you wish to add to the connection, click Add. The Add Security Member page is closed and the new
users or groups are listed on the Connection Security page.
8. Enable the security permissions desired for each user or group and click Next. The
Content Server Connection Review Settings Page is displayed.
9. Ensure that settings are correct. If they are not, click Back to return to the page you
need to modify, or click the link in the navigation train to return directly to the desired page. When satisfied with the settings, return to the Review settings page
and click Submit. The Connection Summary page is displayed that includes the audit history of changes made to the connection.
10. Review the details of the connection. Click Modify to go back to the
Content Server Connection Basic Information Page
to make any changes, if necessary. When satisfied with the connection, return to the
Content Server Connection Review Settings Page
and click Submit.
7.2 Creating a Workflow Connection
To integrate a workflow process with an Oracle IPM application, you must first create a connection to a workflow server. An Oracle IPM workflow connection makes
no distinction between BPEL or BPM engines. A single workflow connection can be used to configure an application for use with BPEL or BPM as long as both engines are
available on the workflow server.
Note: If a single server is identified in the connection pool and it is a
load balancer to an Oracle Content Server cluster, then stickiness should be configured in the load balancer for a short period of time
30 to 60 seconds. This is necessary to avoid errors when an application is created and the application summary page tries to
display. There can be latency in the propagation of application data from the Oracle Content Server where the application is defined to
other Oracle Content Servers in the cluster.
Managing Connections 7-3
To create a workflow connection, do the following:
1. From the navigator pane, under Manage Connections, click the Create new
connection
icon and select the Create Workflow Connection. The Workflow
Connection Basic Information Page is displayed.
2.
Enter a name for the connection. The name will display in the Manage Connections panel. This field is required.
3. Optionally enter a brief description of the connection and click Next. The
Workflow Connection Settings Page is displayed.
4.
Specify the HTTP front end address for the workflow server. The address should include the listening port if it is not the default port for the protocol defined in the
URL. For example, enter http:soa.server.company.com:8001 in the HTTP Front End Address
. This field is required.
5.
Enter the Credential Alias. For example, basic.credential. This field is required. The credential alias is an alias, or key, used to look up the user name and password in
the Credential Store Framework CSF, which encrypted them to provide for proper security.
This credential must be created in the CSF before the workflow connection configuration can be completed. A credential can be created in the CSF in one of
two ways: through Fusion Middleware Control or through WLST. This field is required.
6.
If necessary, enter providers by specifying the host name or names used for the connection. If the workflow server is a single instance, the provider is the host
name or IP and port of the workflow machine. For example, t3:server:8001. If the workflow server is operating within a cluster, this parameter value must be a
comma-separated list of machine names or IP addresses and ports of servers in the cluster. Entering only the front end address of a workflow server with multiple
providers does not work. This step is necessary only if integrating with Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Content Management.
7. Click Test Connection to ensure the connection is made. When successful, a list of
BPEL composites is displayed.
8. Click Next. The
Workflow Connection Security Page is displayed.
9.
Add any additional users required. To add a user, do the following:
a. Click Add. The
