Work area service settings
Use this page to manage the work area service.
The work area service manages the scope and implicit propagation of application context. The work area service panel in the administrative console configures the UserWorkArea partition only and has no effect on the work area partition service panel.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Business Process Services > Work area service.
For additional information about work area, see the com.ibm.websphere.workarea package in the Application Programming Interfaces (API) documentation. The generated API documentation is available in the information center table of contents from the path Reference > >Programming interfaces > APIs - Application Programming Interfaces.
