Configure REST services

If you have a stand-alone server environment or you are using the Deployment Environment wizard to configure your runtime environment, Representational State Transfer (REST) services are configured and enabled automatically. For other environments, use the administrative console to configure the REST services.

If you want widgets to be available in Process Portal, configure the REST services for those widgets. Later you must register the REST endpoints so that Process Portal associates widgets with the endpoints and the widgets appear in the palette for use.

You can configure all REST services for a specific server or cluster. Or, you can select individual services to configure. You can manage individual service configuration by viewing all services for a service provider or by viewing all services for your environment.

REST services are typically exposed on the REST Gateway. Some REST services are implemented by their dedicated system application. The REST Services Gateway application enables common system REST services. The REST Services Gateway application is created when REST services are configured.

Verify that the REST Services Gateway application is deployed for the particular scope that you are using. You configure REST services for the REST Services Gateway and other service providers by using the REST service providers configuration administrative console page.

For clustered environments, all administration and configuration tasks for REST services are completed on the REST Services Gateway Dmgr application on the dmgr. The REST Services Gateway Dmgr application is used with the following widgets:

• Module Browser
• Module Assembly
• Module Properties
• Proxy Gateway
• Module Health
• System Health

• Configure all REST services on the administrative console
  Configure all Representational State Transfer (REST) services for your environment by using the REST service administrative console page.
• Configure REST services using the command line
  All widgets required for your product are installed with the Business Space component. The Representational State Transfer (REST) services for widgets must be configured, enabled, and registered with Business Space before your team can use Process Portal. If you do not use the REST Services administrative console page, use the updateRESTGatewayService command.
