Enable the work area service - the UserWorkArea partition

 

 

Overview

For an application to take advantage of work areas, the work area service must be enabled for both clients and servers. On a server the service is disabled by default. On the client, the service is enabled by default.

For an application to take advantage of the default partition, UserWorkArea partition, this partition must be enabled by enabling the work area service for both clients and servers. The work area service on a server is disabled by default and the work area service on a client is enabled by default. Note that rather than using this default work area partition, a user can create their own work area partition using the Work area partition service. For a description of the differences between these two services please see Understand the difference between the work area service and the work area partition service.

 

Procedure

  1. Enable (or disable) the use of the UserWorkArea partition on a server:

    1. Start the console.

    2. Select Servers > Application servers >server > Business Process Services > Work area service.

    3. Select or clear the Startup check box. This specifies whether or not the server should automatically start the work area service when the server starts.

    4. Save the new configuration and restart the server to apply the new configuration.

  2. Enable (or disable) the UserWorkArea partition on a client: Set the com.ibm.websphere.workarea.enabled property to TRUE or FALSE before starting the client. For example, to disable the work area service, when invoking the launchClient script found in the install_root/bin directory, add the following system property to the launchClient invocation: 

    -CCDcom.ibm.websphere.workarea.enabled=false
    Alternatively, this property can be set in a property file that is used by the launchClient script. See Running application clients for additional information.

 

What to do next

After enabling the UserWorkArea partition, manage the size of the work areas that this server can send and the number of work areas that this server can accept. See the article, Manage the size of work areas.
