Overview of Content Service Platform Environment Configuration
The document types you work with in the webMethods Content Service Platform (CSP) are used by the webMethods product suite in the following ways:
During design time, you use
Software AG Designer to locate and select a specific document type for importation as an IS document type or as business data for a task.
During run time, the
Process Engine uses a listener to continuously monitor a designated repository location for the creation, modification, or deletion of a specific document type, using this event to start a new business process.
Also during run time, if you implement the ability to work with a document type in a task instance interface running in
My webMethods, the
Task Engine enables you to upload from and download to the CSP repository. Any data associated with the document type can be used as business data within the task.
To enable these interactions, you must:
Configure and deploy a
webMethods Content Service Platform environment, which specifies a server/repository location and the credentials to connect to it. This environment is used by the various components of the
webMethods product suite to access your repository servers.
Configure a content filter definition, which defines the filter criteria you want to apply to be able to return a list of specific document types from a given repository location.
Define a content listener for a specific document type/repository location.
When combined, these elements (the environment definition, the content filter definition, and the document type/repository location) enable you to specify a distinct set of document types that can be retrieved and managed as needed during design-time and run-time activities.
