Editing and validating exports used with case management tasks
As the case design or BPEL process evolves, the input and output parameters can change. If the web service needs to be moved to a different server to do an integration test, for example, then the host name, port and path can change. You can edit the input and output parameters then validate your changes.
A binding edit function lets you change these values when services are moved. A validate function ensures that the IBM Case Manager case and the web service are able to communicate at run time, by ensuring that endpoint, input and output values and security settings are synchronized between the business process management service and IBM Case Manager.
Procedure
- Launch the assembly editor and right-click the export. The Edit Binding and Validate functions are listed on the menu.
- Click Edit Binding. The Select the Input and Output Parameters page opens. The current input and output parameters for the task are shown.
- Change the parameters if needed and click Next. The Specify the Deployment Target page opens.
- Change the target server, host name, port number and security options if needed. Click Finish. The generated business objects and interface are updated according to your changes.
- Click Validate from the menu to validate the current configuration. Validation is useful if an error occurs and you suspect that the problem is in the integration of the case task and the web service. If the integration is incorrect, a page displaying the errors appears.
