Create a task provider instance | HCL Digital Experience
A task provider instance contains a set of parameters that are required to connect to a business process management system. It also includes a unique ID to map the parameters to the appropriate task provider.
Before you begin
The Unified Task List Portlet supports integration with specific versions of IBM® WebSphere® Process Server, IBM® Business Process Manager, and IBM® WebSphere® Lombardi Edition. For version information, see the detailed system requirements.
About this task
Front-end developers create custom input forms to capture context-specific information that is required to connect to the business process management system. Context-specific information includes information such as server host names, communications ports, and more. To set up the task provider instance, consult with the front-end developer to determine which variables you must specify to configure the task provider instance.
