Field

Description

Processing  
Activity Class

SmartPromptEnter the first key part — Applies To — of the service activity.

Service Activity Name

SmartPromptEnter the second key part — Activity Name — of the service activity. WHAT ABOUT PARAMETERS ??? hitzm, 11/14/07 Bill: portlets are completely different than other services. The purpose of the service activity is to return an HTML stream, not to start a flow or anything like that. A params button does not make sense for a portlet service.

Help Activity Name

SmartPromptOptional. Identify the name of an activity (in the same class as the service activity) that can produce and send a ready-to-display HTML page of help information for display in the client portlet. B-6842

Authentication

Complete these fields unless the portlet is to access this Process Commander system as an unauthenticated (guest) user.

Application ID

SmartPrompt Select the application ID data instance (Data-Admin-AppID class) you created for this portlet. The PRPortletService authentication service uses this value to verify the security token that the portlet sends to identify itself to Process Commander. B-6930 SP4 4/22/04

Leave blank when implementing single sign-on with a custom activity that does not use an Application ID data instance.

For information about the PRPortletService and how application IDs are used by portlets, see Pega Developer Network article PDNPRKB-25110 How portlet services work.

Cost Center Number

OldLeave blank. This field provides backward compatibility with single sign-on mechanisms in older Process Commander versions.

User Identifier Attribute

Specify the user attribute on the portal server that represents or maps to the value of the pyUserIdentifier property — that is, the Operator ID — of the Data-Admin-Operator-ID data instance in Process Commander. HITZM DORID 4/22/04

For example, a typical value for a WebSphere portal server is:

user.business-info.online.email

User Name Attribute

Optional. Specify the user attribute on the portal server that represents or maps to the value of the pyUserName property of the Data-Admin-Operator-ID data instance. You can use it to display a user's name ("Juan Smith") in the portlet. HITZM DORID 4/22/04 For example:

username.data
