Providing access rights for Pega Process Fabric Hub by editing a service package
To ensure that Pega Process Fabric Hub can establish a connection with the applications in your Pega Platform system, configure appropriate access rights for Pega Process Fabric Hub by editing a service package.
A service package is a collection of services that controls access to the listeners
for services with defined access groups, such as authentication and REST services. By
updating a service package, you ensure that Pega Process Fabric Hub can
connect to your registered applications. Note: Service package settings are system-wide
and affect all applications in your instance of Pega Platform.
You only need to configure these settings once and the configuration affects all
applications. The configuration resets only after you reinstall the Pega Process Fabric Hub connector component from your remote
application.What to do next:
- In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.
- Expand the Integration-Resources category, and then click Service Package.
- In the list of the service package instances, select ppfconnect.
- On the Context tab, in the Processing mode list, select Stateless.
- In the Service access group field, enter the name of an
access group in the application that you want to connect to the Pega Process Fabric Hub.
For example: Enter YourApplication:Administrators. Note: If you use a custom access group other than Application:Administrators or Application:Authors, add the access group to the AllowedRegistrationAccessGroups dynamic system setting. For more information, see Modification of the standard mappings published to Pega Process Fabric Hub and Editing a dynamic system setting. Ensure that the access group is present in your operator record. For more information, see Defining operator contact information and application access. - Select the Requires authentication checkbox.
- In the Authentication type list, select OAuth 2.0.
- Select the Suppress Show-HTML checkbox.
For example: The following figure shows a sample configuration for the service package: Service package configurations - In the Methods section, view the newly created REST
services by clicking Refresh.
Result: The ppfconnect service package now includes the app, assignments/{assignmentID}/canperform, and applications/{applicationName}/actions/{action} REST services that you use to communicate with Pega Process Fabric Hub, as in the following figure: REST methods to communicate with Pega Process Fabric Hub - Click Save.
- If you host your application in Pega Platform version 8.1 or 8.2, create synchronization between your application and Pega Process Fabric Hub. For more information, see Configuring synchronization with Pega Process Fabric Hub.
- If you host your application in Pega Platform version 8.3 or later, list your application in the System Runtime Context. For more information, see Automating the runtime context management of background processes.
