Administer case management tasks

IBM Case Manager tasks integrate with BPEL processes through a web service. After you deploy the web service module for a case management task to a production server, you use the Process Server administrative console to make changes to the module properties.

You must have deployed the web service module to Process Server.

The topics in this section provide considerations for using security and policy sets for IBM Case Manager cases.

Important: A key post-deployment task is to communicate the address of the service to the Case Manager developer.

For example, if you move the service from one server to another, you need to make the change known so that the case management task can use the correct address when invoking the service.

• For general information on providing clients with a description of a web service, see "Making deployed web services applications available to clients".

• For information on the PEPartnerLink item attribute, which is used to specify the endpoint address in FileNet P8, see "Deployment configuration formats" in the FileNet P8 Information Center.

• Security considerations for integrating BPEL processes with case management tasks
  

  If you select Use security to access the web service from the case management task when you create the web service module in Integration Designer, user name and password credentials are supplied when a IBM Case Manager task invokes a web service module on Process Server. You can optionally select Use a secure socket (SSL) connection to provide an additional level of security for the request from IBM Case Manager to IBM BPM.

• Policy sets and binding considerations for case management tasks
  

  If you select Use security to access the web service from the case management task when you create the web service module in Integration Designer, a default policy set is applied to the export. If you select a long-running BPEL process, a default policy set is applied to both the export and import.
