Program integrations

You can provide links in the PPM user interface to start the external programs webMethods Optimize and MashZone NextGen.

Detailed information on this topic is available in the online help under PPM help topics.

Procedure

  1. Enable the option Provide link in PPM Analysis UI for the relevant program.

    If you enable the option for webMethods Optimize, creating an alert in webMethods Optimize is supported for specific measures. This function is then available to you in the pop-up menus of diagrams and in table rows.

    If you enable the option for MashZone NextGen, a link is provided on the Start page tab of PPM.

  2. Enter the URL of the start page of the program required.

    For example, http://localhost:8585/webm.apps.optimizeforprozess for webMethods Optimize or http://localhost:8080/mashzone for MashZone NextGen

    If you are installing PPM for use in the cloud, make sure that webMethods Optimize is also accessible from the cloud. In this case, enter the address that can be accessed from the Internet. Note that the port for the webMethods Optimize installation must also be accessible from the Internet.

  3. If required, enable the option Use single sign-on (SSO) for the jump to webMethods Optimize or MashZone NextGen. Single sign-on can be used only if you configure SAML usage in central user management.

    For detailed information on how to integrate MashZone NextGen in a SSO scenario (SAML configuration) see the relevant chapter Integrate MashZone in a SSO scenario in the PPM Operation guide.

  4. Click Next.

Your settings are applied.
