Introduction

This sample illustrates how you can develop and deploy a Post Processor Plugin to manipulate people query results associated with task roles. It covers how to :

• manipulate people query results associated with the task role Potential Owners,
• integrate a user selection policy based on load balancing criteria (Random, Round Robin),
• model a task to include a custom property indicating the user selection policy for the task,
• model a task to enforce a task assignment to a selected user,
• package and deploy a developed plugin.

Prerequisites

This sample relies on the federated user repository VMM (Virtual Member Manager) that is shipped with WebSphere Process Server 6.2. Before you can run the sample, you have to ensure that the user group employees exist on your system and that the group contains userids.

The user group and users can be created running a command line script.

If you are using Windows (TM) and have administrator privileges for the WebSphere Application Server, then a simple command line script for adding the required groups and users may look like this:
ADDUSERS3.BAT

Similarly, these user groups and users can be deleted again after finishing this sample; a simple command line script for Windows looks like this:
DELETEUSERS3.BAT

Note that you may have to customize these command line scripts to reflect:

• your WebSphere Integration Developer installation directory;
• the port used to connect to the server;
• administrator userid and password.
