Using a System Participant to Identify the REST Service Shared Resource

A REST service must use a system participant that identifies the shared resource name of the REST service that is to be invoked. This is a reference to a shared resource that must be created in TIBCO BPM Enterprise Administrator, and holds the runtime configuration for the REST service location and credentials.

When you select a REST service method in a REST service task, a system participant is automatically created using the service name as the shared resource name.

Depending on the name of the administration-defined shared resource, you may need to change the reference to it in the REST service participant. From Properties for the participant, under Shared Resource > REST Service Consumer, enter the shared resource name.
