Creating a Connection to an HTTP Resource

 

To use the Submit HTTP Request activity, you must first create an HTTP System Resource, which points to an HTTP location. The path to the location can include data item values and expressions, allowing you to dynamically determine the site or URL.

2. Click the Create tab. The Solution Items ribbon menu is displayed.
   
   
3. Click New Resource. A drop-down list is displayed.
   
   
4. Select HTTP System Resource. The HTTP System Resource window is displayed.
   
   
5. In the HTTP System Resource name field, type a name for the new resource.
   
   
6. In the Base URL field, type the URL to the HTTP location. For example, http://www.company.com.
   
   
7. From the Credential Type options, select Integrated Credentials or Define Credentials.
   
   

   Note:

   The Integrated Credentials option uses the Process Engine service account, which by default is the System Account. This account cannot access network resources. RECOMMENDED: Select Define Credentials and type the appropriate username and password details in the corresponding fields. The Password field is encrypted after you save, check in, and close the system resource.

   
   
   
8. Click the save button. You created a new HTTP system resource.
