About the Task Engine Configuration
In a typical production environment webMethods Task Engine interacts with other webMethods components, such as Process Engine and webMethods Monitor. To enable proper operation, you must configure the connection between Task Engine and the other webMethods components. The configuration settings are specific to the runtime on which Task Engine is installed.
For Task Engine on My webMethods Server, you must configure the following:
*In My webMethods, a connection to the Integration Server on which Process Engine is installed to enable Task Engine to provide results from completed tasks to the Process Engine. You do this by specifying the location of the Integration Server on which the Process Engine is running.
*In Integration Server Administrator, a connection between the Process Engine and Task Engine that it is to work with. You do this by specifying the location of the My webMethods Server on which Task Engine is running on the configuration page of the wmTaskClient package.
The Task Engine also requires a connection to a JDBC data source on Integration Server to enable the Task Engine to provide log events for webMethods Monitor. When the Task Engine first requires this connection, it queries the specified Integration Server to determine the name of this JDBC pool, and configures a connection automatically. If the name or location of the JDBC pool on Integration Server changes, you can redefine the configuration as described in Configuring a JDBC Data Source.
For Task Engine, running in a My webMethods Server Docker container, you must configure the following:
*In My webMethods, a connection to the Integration Server on which Process Engine is installed to enable Task Engine to provide results from completed tasks to the Process Engine. You do this by specifying the location of the Integration Server on which the Process Engine is running.
*In My webMethods, a connection to the Integration Server on which Business Rules is installed to enable Task Engine to communicate to the Business Rules engine when determining rule-based assignments. You do this by specifying the location of the Integration Server on which the Business Rules is running. By default, Task Engine looks for a Business Rules installation on the Integration Server on which Process Engine is installed.
For Task Engine on Integration Server, you must configure the location of the Integration Server on which Task Engine is installed. You do this on the configuration page of the wmTaskClient package, by specifying the location of the Integration Server, or selecting in-process communication when Task Engine and Process Engine are installed on the same Integration Server.
