Configure Process Server

Use this page to supply information required to configure the Process Server component.

This page contains sections in which you specify the security and human task manager mail session values the wizard uses for this deployment environment.

For the Deployment Environment Configuration wizard: Servers > Deployment Environments > New and complete each preceding configuration page.

Note: This step is only visible if you have selected a Process Server-based deployment environment.
Environment name
An environment name is the name by which this server or cluster will be known to a Process Center user.
Environment Type
The Environment type refers to how the Process Server is used. For example, in what capacity will the Process Server be used - development, test, staging, or production. Load testing might be done on a test server, while a staging environment type might be used as a temporary location to host changes before putting those changes into production. You might select a staging environment type if the Process Server you are configuring will be accessed and used to review content and new functionality.
There are four types of environments available for selection:
  • Development: Select Development if the server will serve in a development capacity.
  • Test: Select Test if the server you are configuring will be used as a testing environment.
  • Stage: Select Stage if the server will serve as a staging platform to be used as a preproduction server.
  • Production: Select Production if the server will serve in a production capacity.
Use server offline
Indicate whether the server you are configuring is an offline server. An offline server is a Process Server that is not connected to the Process Center.

Offline servers can still be used when deploying snapshots of process applications. However the method for deploying process applications to an offline process server differs from the method for deploying process applications to an online process server.

Protocol
Select either http:// or https:// as the connection protocol to the Process Center. Configure a full URL path by selecting http:// or https:// and then setting the host and port. In an environment with a load balancer or proxy server between the browser and the Process Server services, make sure that what you designate here matches the browser URL for accessing the Process Center.
Host name or virtual host in a load-balanced environment
Specifies the host or virtual host that this Process Server needs to communicate with Process Center. Use a fully qualified host name. In an environment with a load balancer or proxy server between the Process Server and the Process Center services, make sure that what you designate here matches the URL for accessing the Process Center.
Note: Ensure that you specify the host name instead of localhost for the server name when you configure the Process Server. This is required when you are using the Process Designer remotely.
Port
Specifies the port for Process Server services that you want to configure. For a load-balanced environment, designate the port number that the client needs to communicate with the cluster. In an environment with a load balancer or proxy server between the browser and the Process Server services, make sure that what you designate here matches the browser URL for the Process Center. If you are using the Deployment Environment Configuration wizard, and you leave the host and port fields empty, the default values are used. Default values are of an individual cluster member host and its HTTP port. For a load-balanced environment, you must later change the default values to the virtual host name and port of your environment.
User name
Specifies the user name for connecting to the Process Server.
Password
Specifies a password for the Process Server user name you specified.
Confirm password
A password check to confirm the password associated with User name.
Test Connection
Click to test the Process Center connection.
