Defining a Server for a Task Application Project
Before you can run task portlets and views in My webMethods Server, your environment must be configured to support connectivity between My webMethods Server and Designer. In many development environments, it is common for My webMethods Server and Designer to be installed on the same system.
For this reason, a default installation of Designer and My webMethods Server results in this configuration:
My webMethods Server is configured to run on port 8585, resulting in a URL of
http://localhost:8585.
Designer is configured to use this URL as the default
My webMethods Server instance.
In this configuration, when you start My webMethods Server and Designer, the first time you access My webMethods Server, you will be asked to enter your credentials for logging in. The default user account is sysadmin.
Designer uses the localhost:8585 URL as the default server instance for the task application projects you create, meaning that it is the target server when you:
Publish a task application project.
Execute the
Run on Server command.
Note:
If a task application project does not have a default server, the task portlets, views, and pages within it cannot be run.
To define a
My webMethods Server instance at a location that is different than
localhost:85851. Define the server location in the Servers view, as described in the Eclipse Web Tools Platform User Guide.
2. Specify the server as the server for the project:
a. Right-click the project in the Project Explorer view and click Properties.
b. In the list of properties, click Server.
c. Select the server and click Apply or OK.
