Worklist Manager Service Engine Features

The WLM SE provides the following features to enable Worklist Manager task processing:

• Graphical Wizard and Editor: The WLM SE includes a wizard to automate the process of creating a task definition framework, and an editor where you can define all of the elements of the task definition.

• Worklist Manager Console: This web-based application provides complete task management functionality, including claiming, completing, and reassigning tasks.

• Searchable Tasks: The Worklist Manager Console provides comprehensive full-text and keyword search capabilities and also supports AND, OR, and NOT operations. It can also filter results by status, user, and group.

• Notifications: Tasks can be configured to send out email or other notifications when a task is escalated or changes status, or after a deadline or duration of time passes.

• Escalations: The WLM SE supports automatic task escalation if it is not completed by a deadline or within a specific period of time.

• Timeouts: The WLM SE allows you to define a timeout period or deadline after which the task returns an error to the BPEL process.

• XPath Support: Support for XPath syntax lets you add variables and expressions that dynamically derive task elements and properties from the input message.

• Security: Security for the web-based console is propagated through the Java EE Service Engine. The WLM SE supports both file realm and LDAP security.

• LDAP Support: The WLM SE supports using LDAP for authentication and user management, and provides an LDAP browser for you to easily assign tasks and notifications.

• Client API: The WLM SE includes a client API in the form of a static WSDL document to interact with the task management service. The API provides complete task handling functions.

• Persistence: Task information and status is preserved in the Worklist Manager database, so users can continue processing tasks following a system failure.
