Improving performance when using human task list widgets

You can improve process perfromance when you add a federation service layer.

The addition of a federation service layer and the higher number of items to be retrieved result in a performance degradation.

You can improve the performance characteristics of a process server when you use the Human Task Management widgets, such as the Tasks or Processes widgets, in Process Portal spaces on a new installation of IBM BPM Advanced. The same performance considerations apply if you use the widgets with only business process definition (BPD) processes and human services on a single application server, or a cluster.


Procedure

To check the target services configuration in the administrative console:

  1. Open the administrative console.

  2. Select the Servers tab in the navigation bar.

  3. Select WebSphere application servers server type and choose the application server on which you run Business Space. The page to configure an application server opens.

  4. In the Additional Properties section select the REST service endpoint registration entry. The REST service endpoint registration page opens.
  5. Check the service endpoint target values for the process services and the task services REST endpoint types. The default setting is Federated REST services.
