Adding a Workflow Engine

This section demonstrates how to configure the WSO2 Identity Server (IS) to connect to the Business Process Management (BPM) component of the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator. This can be done by creating a BPM Workflow Engine and configuring it accordingly. You can have many engines configured in different profiles and use one of them when creating a workflow.

An embedded Business Process Management engine is included in WSO2 Identity Server. However, if you need more flexibility and more extensibility with this feature than what is currently provided, it is advisable to integrate the Business Process Management (BPM) component of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator with the Identity Server.

To create a BPM profile click on Configure > Workflow Engine Profiles > Add. The window below will be displayed.

Fill in the details using the descriptions below to guide you and click Add.
