Using an RSS Feed

You can use built-in RSS feeds to access the data within the Process Central. You set up an RSS subscription by selecting the RSS
button in the listing area. Type in the credentials you used to log into Process Central. (The subscription is for a RSS 2.0 feed.) For example, if you want to view a list of open tasks as RSS, you can subscribe on that page.

You can also view task details by using the Process Server task feed service and a feed URL can be set up with optional parameters.

ATOM Example

With the Process Server running, type the following into a Web browser:

http://[host]:[port]/active-bpel/services/REST/
        AeB4PTaskFeed?filter=open&role=administrator&maxTasks=10

Provide the host and port for your installation of Process Server.

This URL returns feed data for a maximum of 10 open administrator tasks from the Process Central authenticated on your server.

RSS Example

"Open Tasks" is the default setting, so there is no need to add any of the optional query parameters except for the format (rss):

http://[host]:[port]/active-bpel/services/
     REST/AeB4PTaskFeed?format=rss

The following table describes the parameters you can use in a URL.

Parameter	Allowed Values
details	true or false (default) If true, feed content includes additional text such as status, priority, and owner. Otherwise, only the feed item subject is returned. The default value is false.
filter	notifications, open (default), closed, unclaimed, claimed, completed, error, obsolete, failed
format	atom, rss. Indicates the preferred feed format - ATOM 1.0 or RSS 2.0. The default is atom.
maxTasks	integer_value; default is 20.
role	user (default), administrator, initiator, stakeholder.
searchBy	"Search By" expression that is part of the task definition
taskIndexOffset	integer_value. Start at task integer_value and display integer_value + maxTasks ; default is 0; for example, Display tasks 15 through 35.

Note
: When you enter user credentials for an RSS feed, they remain cached until the browser is restarted. So if you logout of Process Central and sign back in with different credentials, the credentials match those you previously entered for the RSS feed.
