Retrieve Configuration From the
System
Purpose
The work item registration process involves identifying each system by its alias, and then generating the XML description of how to process the work item types to be received by UWL from each system.
Procedure
Navigate to System Administration ® System Configuration ® Universal Worklist and Workflow ® Universal Worklist Administration.
...
1. From the Universal Worklist - Webflow Item Type Registration iView:
¡ You can access the UWL Configuration Framework page directly from the link provided.
¡ You also see a list of system aliases for which the work item types are registered and a list for those not yet registered.
2. To register work item types and initiate generation of the corresponding XML work item processing descriptions, select one of the following buttons:
¡ Choose Register Item Types for All Systems to perform the registration for all configured systems.
¡ Choose Register Item Types for Only New Systems to perform registration for systems whose XML processing description has not been downloaded before.
Communication time can require a few minutes for each system. Reduce the amount of communication time required by registering new systems only, unless the Business Workflow task definitions have changed in the system backend.
The generated item types can be viewed in the Universal Worklist Content Configuration iView. For each system, they are generated as the configuration named uwl.webflow.<systemalias>.
Item types should be re-registered after relevant changes in the workflow definitions of the Business Workflow system.
3. Check for status messages to verify the registration. There can be two basic categories of status:
¡ A list of system aliases failed to register. Details of the failure to register are provided.
¡ A list of system aliases registered successfully. For those systems registered successfully the XML text is available for your review in the iView, labeled Universal Worklist Content Configuration.
