Configuring your service to be used from Workspace ES

When you create an endpoint, it is visually represented as a process card within Workspace ES. When that process card is selected in Workspace ES, the form design you created will be used to present a form to the user.

Now, you will create and configure an endpoint to specify how your service will be invoked. You will also configure permissions so that any validated user who can access Workspace ES can invoke your service. Finally, you will save the changes to your service. Your service cannot be invoked unless an endpoint has been both configured and enabled.

To configure an endpoint to be initiated from Workspace ES:

  1. On the Archive Administration page, click Service Management.
  2. On the Service Management page, find and click MortgageLoan: 1.0. You may need to use the page links near the bottom of the web page to find your process.

    Note:   Ensure that you click MortgageLoan: 1.0, which represents the process you activated as a service, not the installed sample called MortgageLoan-Prebuilt:1.0 link.

  3. On the Configure MortgageLoan page, click the End Points tab and, in the list of endpoints, click TaskManager.
  4. Click Add.

    The following illustration shows the TaskManager endpoint selected in the list before you click Add.

  5. On the Add TaskManager Endpoint page, provide a name and description:
  6. In Task Instructions box, type Complete the application and one of our representatives will contact you within two business days..
  7. In the Categorization list, select Loan Applications and, in the Operation Name list, select Invoke.
  8. Click Add.

    Note:   If Status is not Enabled, select the option left of Mortgage Application, and click Enable.

You have configured a Task Manager endpoint for the process, which allows the process to be invoked from Workspace ES.

To specify permissions to invoke your service:

  1. Click the Security tab and then click Add Principal.
  2. On the Select Principal page, select All principals in domain Sample Organization, Finance Corp. You must select all principals for the domain that your users belong to.

    Note:   You can also select the All Principals option, which allows all users that have access to Workspace ES to start a process. In production systems, it is recommended that you do not select this option.

  3. On the Add Permissions page, select INVOKE_PERM, and then click Add.
  4. Click Logout.

You have configured your service so that everyone who can access Workspace ES can invoke the service.

The graphic for item 4 under To configure an endpoint to be initiated from Workspace ES should show TaskManager selected in the dropdown list.

Hi,

I think that you don't have the Task Manager component installed. I provided this information in response to another comment that you provided:

"When you installed LiveCycle ES, the trial serial number that you were provided should have caused this service to be installed.

You can also manually deploy service components. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/wb_help/00001184.html.

The component file that provides the User service is adobe-taskmanager-dsc.jar, which is installed in the <install directory>/Adobe/LiveCycle/Deploy directory."

If you want to try a different type of endpoint, you might be able to use a Watched Folder endpoint, but I'm not sure what type of file you would need to copy to the watched folder so that it is compatible with the LoanForm input variable. Perhaps you can use the loanTestData.xml file that is discussed in the Testing Form Designs topic: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/wb_help/00000443.html

For more information about endpoints and watched folders, see this topic in the Archive Administration Help: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/admin_aac/admin/endpoints.html.

I hope that helps
Scott
