Task providers

Task providers are services that access back-end systems to retrieve tasks. Task providers use a Web Experience Factory Transform builder to provide a uniform data set that displays in the Unified Task List user interface.

We can create multiple task providers to aggregate tasks from several back-end systems. For example, create a task provider to retrieve tasks from system foo, then create another task provider to retrieve tasks from system bar. A single set of tasks displays in the user interface.

Task provider instances reside in the Task Provider Instance Registry (TPIR) and contain the parameters specified in task providers.
