Generate HTML-Dojo pages or IBM Forms for Process Portal spaces
You can get your human tasks to work in widgets in Process Portal spaces, by generating an HTML-Dojo page or an IBM Forms interface.
IBM Forms is deprecated in IBM Integration Developer for IBM BPM V8.0.1.
Procedure
- In the Business Integration view, right-click the human tasks for which you want to generate a user-interface, and select Generate Human Task User Interfaces. To generate a client for tasks in different modules, select those modules in the business integration view by holding the Ctrl key while you select each one. The User Interface Wizard for Human Tasks launches.
- If the generated client is intended to be able to start a process, then this process must have a human task defined for the initial receive activities, or you must have another initiating task on the assembly diagram wired to the process .
- If the human task is not represented on your assembly diagram, then you will get a warning message.
- If a humans task contains an error of any kind, the task will not be listed in the wizard. A warning message will be shown.
- On the Client Generator Selection page, proceed as follows:
- In the Generator type field, choose HTML-Dojo pages or IBM Forms for Process Portal spaces.
- Use this list to choose the human tasks for which you want to generate the client. Expand the tree until you find the required human tasks, and then select the associated check boxes.
- Decide on the type of form that you want to use for the human task, and indicate whether you want to overwrite existing interface settings. If you select HTML, you also need to indicate the web project where the HTML pages are saved.
- Click the Browse to see a list of web projects. In the resulting window you can choose from the list of web projects, create a folder within an existing web project or create a web project.
- Click Finish.
Important: When you generate an HTML-Dojo user interface for a human task, the interface you generate can contain a calendar date type. The calendar used to enter data in this field is controlled by the calendar type that you specified in the Business Integration preferences. In the Business Integration perspective, click Window > Preferences. In the Preferences navigation pane, expand Business Integration and then click Calendar. Set the calendar type to the one for which you are generating the human task interface.
