connectivity for BPM external custom UIs

Hi all,

I'd like to use the new PO feature of BPM tasks based on custom UIs deployed on external servers as documented on the help

Of course the application implementing the UI will be connecting to the BPM engine to fetch process data.

My question is related to connectivity the other way around:

does the BPM engine strictly need connectivity to the remote server where UIs are deployed?

In my understanding it should not be necessary since the url configured in http destination is only used by the user browser.

However I'm not sure whether it might be required for proper behavior or SSO.

Could anyone please assist?

Thanks, regards

Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

Basically it boils down to access. Your BPM Server should have permission to access the Remote Server Destination. My guess would be that this HTTP destination should already be configured in your Server's NWA 'Destinations' settings.

The name which you define at the time of http destination setup, would be used inside the placeholders when you define the UI-URL while assigning the task.

So the name would be something like: "{name_of_http_destination_in_nwa_setup}/Relative-url"

Configuring the destinations would be somewhat similar to step#3 in this document.

Please let us know if you resolve this. Would be great to know something we haven't got a chance to try yet.

Cheers Mate.
