Configure installed snapshots

For each installed process application snapshot, you can either configure the entire snapshot (for example, select a snapshot to be the default version on the current server) or you can configure run-time settings (such as role bindings and environment variables)

To configure installed snapshots, you must have administrative access to the Process Server on which the snapshots are installed.

The options displayed in the right margin of the Process Admin Console enable you to configure the selected snapshot on the current server as follows:

Option Description
Deactivate Application Selected snapshot remains installed on the current server, but users cannot start new instances of the exposed processes or services. Any currently running instances run until complete.
Migrate In-flight Data Migrates currently running instances to the version of the selected snapshot. Wherever the running instances are in the flow of the process or service, the new version is implemented for the next item or step.
Sync Settings Copies settings from the selected snapshot. You can choose the settings that you want to copy such as environment variables, role bindings, exposed process values (EPVs), and so on.
Make Default Version Makes the selected snapshot the default version on the current server. If a snapshot is the default, the items within it should run by default when an event or other trigger that applies to more than one version of a process or service is received.

The first snapshot that you install on a server is the default version of the process application. When you install subsequent snapshots, you can use this option to ensure that the version that you want to run is actually the default.

Send Tracking Definitions If a problem occurs during snapshot installation so that tracking definitions are not sent to the Performance Data Warehouse, you can use this option to send the definitions for the selected snapshot. Because tracking definitions are automatically sent to the Performance Data Warehouse during snapshot installation, you should only use this option when a problem occurs. For more information, see Troubleshooting installations. For more information, see Troubleshooting installations in Lombardi Authoring Environment User Guide or online help.

Run-time configuration options include the following:

Option Description See...
Exposing During development in Lombardi Authoring Environment, process authors determine which processes, services, reports, and other items are available and to which participant groups. After a process application is installed on a Process Server in a different environment (test or production), you may need to disable a particular exposed item within that application.

Items that are exposed are accessible to the designated group of users. For example, users in the designated group can start an exposed process in Lombardi Process Portal.

Configure exposed processes and services
Role Bindings During development in Lombardi Authoring Environment, process authors create the participant groups for each process application. After a process application is installed on a Process Server in a different environment (test or production), you may need to add or remove users in those groups. For example, users that exist in the test environment may not have been available in the development environment. So, you would need to add those users once installation in your test environment is complete so that they can access and perform the tasks generated by the process. Configure runtime participant groups
Environment Variables During development in Lombardi Authoring Environment, process authors can set environment variables for each process application. In some cases, the correct value for a particular environment (test or production) may not be known during process design. In those cases, you need to provide the value after installing the process application in the new environment. Configure runtime environment variables


Configure exposed processes and services

After selecting a snapshot to configure, you can manage exposed items by following these steps:

  1. If not already selected, click the Exposing option.
  2. Click the check box next to the item that you want to disable.

    Clicking the check box causes the item to no longer be exposed to the selected group. When the exposure setting is disabled, the users within the group can no longer start or otherwise manipulate the process or service on the current server.

    When you disable items that are not exposed to a particular participant group, such as Web services and Undercover Agents (UCAs), those items can no longer be executed on the current server.


Configure runtime participant groups

After selecting a snapshot to configure, you can adjust the members of necessary participant groups. Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Role Bindings option.

    Lombardi lists each participant group and the members of each group. The participant groups listed are those that were created for the process application during process development in the Designer in Lombardi Authoring Environment.

  2. For each participant group listed, you can perform the following actions:

Action Description
Click Add Users and Groups option Lombardi displays the Add Users dialog where you can enter a partial or complete user name in the Retrieve text box to display the users and groups that are available on the current server. Select the check box for each user and group that you want and click the Add button.
Click the remove icon next to an existing user or group Lombardi removes the user or group from the participant group.


Configure runtime environment variables

After selecting a snapshot to configure, you can set environment variables to the appropriate values for the current server. Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Environment Vars option.
  2. For the variables listed, provide a value or ensure that the value shown is accurate for the current server.

    If no variables are listed, that means that none were established during process development in Lombardi Authoring Environment.
