Enabling the task manager feature in the web client

The task manager feature allows you to create and run automated and scheduled tasks. However, you can use the task manager feature only if you configure and deploy the task manager component as part of your IBM® Content Navigator web application.

To enable the task manager feature in the web client:

1. Log in to the IBM Content Navigator administration tool.
2. Click Settings.
3. In the Task Manager Configuration section, complete the following tasks:
   1. Enable the task manager service.
   2. In the Task manager service URL field, enter the URL by which other applications can communicate with the task manager service. The URL has the format http://server_name:port_number/taskManagerWeb/api/v1.
   3. Optional: If you want logging information written to a directory other than the default directory, specify the fully qualified path of the directory where you want to store the log files for task manager service in the Task manager log directory field. By default, the log files for the task manager service are written to the same directory as the web application server log files.
      Important: If you change this setting, you must restart the IBM Content Navigator web application for the changes to take effect.
   4. Optional: Enable cluster heartbeat monitoring if you wan the task manager service to reroute tasks from nodes that are currently down to nodes that are currently running.
      Important: If you change this setting, you must restart the IBM Content Navigator web application for the changes to take effect.
4. Add the task manager feature to each desktop from which you want users to access the task manager feature. For more information, see Configuring the features that are available on a desktop.
