Configure all REST services on the administrative console

Configure all Representational State Transfer (REST) services for your environment by using the REST service administrative console page.

Before you complete this task, you must have installed IBM BPM.

The deployment of the REST services is performed automatically in a stand-alone server profile. For other types of configurations, the administrative console page allows you to configure REST services for all of your IBM BPM widgets used in Process Portal. On the REST Services page, you can view all services for your environment and enable or disable each service individually.

You also must register the REST endpoints with the Business Space component so that widgets are associated with the endpoints, and the widgets appear in Process Portal for use. To ensure that the REST endpoints are registered, see Configure Business Space and registering REST endpoints on the administrative console.

If you want to configure multiple instances of the same REST service endpoint, you must manually edit the endpoints file and the widgets metadata file.

The REST Services Gateway application enables common system REST services. The REST Services Gateway application is created when REST services are configured.

Procedure

1. Click Services > REST services > REST services.

   The REST Services page opens, displaying all REST services in your environment.

2. For the Scope section, designate all to view all REST services in your environment, or select a server or cluster where you have REST services enabled. If REST services that you expected to see for the selected scope are missing, enable the REST Services Gateway or the related REST service providers on the server or cluster. See "Configuring REST services for a server, cluster or component."

3. In the table that lists the REST services for the provider, in each row, select the Enabled check box if you want to enable the individual REST service, or clear the Enabled check box if you want to disable the individual REST service.

4. For each individual service that you want to enable, type a meaningful description in the Description column.

5. Click OK to commit the changes to the services.

What to do next

• Configure the Business Space component and Process Portal for your ND environment.

• Configure the database tables (if you are using a remote database or an ND environment).
• Register REST service endpoints.

• For multiple instances of service endpoints, for example if you have partitioning of work on two clusters, and you want to have widgets showing data from each cluster, you must enable the additional widgets manually for each additional cluster.
• Set up security for the Business Space component and Process Portal.

• Configure REST services in a service provider
  Configure Representational State Transfer (REST) services in a service provider by using the REST service providers configuration administrative console page.
• Configure REST services for a server, cluster, or component
  Configure Representational State Transfer (REST) services for a server, cluster or a component by using the REST Services administrative console page.
