Task Processor
* 
The task processor entry is no longer used. However, you can create an entry in order to integrate with a legacy standalone installation of Info*Engine. The Windchill Adapter now performs the function of the task processor.
A task processor processes XML business tasks created by Info*Engine authors. It can be called directly from an Info*Engine servlet.
The output from an Info*Engine task is XML-encoded text. When a task is called directly from an Info*Engine servlet, no formatting is done on the resulting XML output. However, the XML output that is returned is suitable for processing by an application.
See Common Properties and Actions for information about properties that are not listed here, as well as instructions on using available form buttons and correctly entering attribute values.
For information about validating requests, see the following topics:
Configuring Request Validation
Credentials Mapping for Adapters
Changing Info*Engine Request Validation Properties
Task Root
templateRoot
The root directory location under which Info*Engine XML business tasks are located.
On Windows systems, the default is c:\ptc\Windchill\tasks.
On UNIX systems, the default is /opt/ptc/Windchill/tasks.
Max Thread Count
socketAccess.maxThreadCount
The maximum number of requests the task processor processes at one time. The default value is 100.
Secret
secret.text
A string used to sign and validate requests sent to the adapter.
Secret 2
secret.text2
Another string used to sign and validate requests sent to the adapter. This property generates a more comprehensive request signature, and can be used instead of or in addition to the Secret property.
Secret Algorithm
secret.algorithm
The algorithm used to encrypt secrets. Valid values for this property are SHA, SHA-1, and MD5. The default value is SHA-1.
