The Business Process Portal enables users to interact with Business Process Server applications. You can interact with Business Process Server applications by using the Home, Management, and Administration modules. Out of these modules, you can configure the Home and Management modules using Business Process Portal’s Administration module.
The Home module enables users to interact with Business Process Server applications. Home is a module in Business Process Portal that not only provides entries to various tasks and applications, but also supplies links to all supporting resources required to complete these tasks including documents, external URLs, as well as additional applications and services. Home is the application user’s primary interface to Business Process Server.
The Management module in Business Process Portal enables managers to query, report, and control processes and resources. As the primary interface for the business manager, the Management module allows you to define, view, query, and analyze management data in the form of reports, graphs, and spreadsheets, to name a few. For example, the Management module allows business managers to query and select current active processes based on their state and attributes; and supports dynamic modification of business policies and priorities.
This chapter explains how to configure Portal using Business Process Portal’s Administration module and offers answers to the most frequently asked questions about troubleshooting configuring Business Process Portal.
Note: The Home and Management modules are described in detail in the Business Process Portal User's Guide and Business Process Portal Manager’s Guide respectively.
