Configuring Resource Push Destinations

Work items can be pushed to a resource, rather than be pulled from a work item list. The resource push destination defines how, and to where, the work items are pushed.

Procedure

  1. Select the LDAP container containing the resource whose privileges you want to view.
  2. Select the desired resource.
    In the right pane, the number in parentheses to the right of "Push Destinations" indicates the number of push destinations that have been assigned to the resource.
  3. In the right pane, click Push Destinations.
    If any push destinations are assigned to the resource, they are displayed. In the right pane, the number in parentheses to the right of the header indicates the number of push destinations that have been assigned to the resource.
  4. Configure a push destination as follows:
    1. To add a new push destination, click Add Destination, then complete the Add Push Destinations dialog according to the field descriptions below.
    2. To edit an existing push destination, hover the mouse pointer over the desired destination, click , then complete the Edit Push Destination dialog according to the field descriptions below.
    3. To deleted an existing push destination, hover the mouse pointer over the desired destination, then click .
    Field Description
    Name A descriptive name for the push destination.
    Channel Type The type of channel that will be used to push work items to the resource. Currently, the only available channel type is “emailchannel”, which causes work items to be pushed to an email address.
    Channel Id Uniquely identifies the presentation channel to use when pushing work items to the resource. The channel ID is defined when a presentation channel is defined in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition.

    For more information, see "Configuring Presentation Channels" in the TIBCO Business Studio™ - BPM Edition Application Designer's Guide.

    Target Source Using the drop-down list in this field, you can select a resource attribute that contains the email address. You can either use this field, or the Targets field (see below) to specify the email address. If you specify a source for the email address in the Target Source field, the Targets field is disabled.

    Note that if the email address is ultimately coming from an LDAP attribute, you must map the LDAP attribute to a resource attribute when the LDAP container is created — for information, see Creating an LDAP Container.

    Target The email address to which work items are to be pushed.

    This field is not displayed if an attribute is specified in the Target Sourcefield.

    Active Check the box to make the push destination active. This provides a means of disabling the push destination without removing it.
  5. Click Save to save the push destination definition.
