Alfresco has launched the new product named as "Alfresco Workdesk" which is a browser-based application designed to streamline business processes associated with loans, claims, applications, invoices, and cases. Here I have described few easy and necessary steps to install it.Just follow it and then start to play with it.
Download the alfresco work Desk from the alfresco site.Extract it.
Copy the (Delivery)/bin/workdesk folder under Tomcat/webapps/* folder.
Then start the tomcat server.
By default the context path for workdesk application is "workdesk".
Open URL "http://localhost:8080/workdesk"
By default dummy ECM adapter is configured which uses online alfresco repository.
We can see the alfresco workdesk basic functionalities using this application.
Now let’s configure workdesk with alfresco ECM adaptor.
1) Copy the required jar files of CMIS and alfrescobpm to workDesk/WEB-INF/lib file.
Copy the jar files from (Delivery)\libs\cmis to workDesk/WEB-INF/lib.
Copy (Delivery)\libs\alfrescobpm to workDesk/WEB-INF/lib:
2) Swithching ECM adaptor.By default dummy ECM adaptor is configured.
Modify the web.xml file which located at (workdesk)/WEB-INF/web.xml as described below.
Comment the line <!--<param-value>deploy#WEB-INF/conf/dummy</param-value>-->
Uncomment the following line for CMIS and workdesk community :
(workdesk)\WEB-INF\conf\cmis
Uncomment the following line for CMIS:
(workdesk)\WEB-INF\conf\cmis_prof
3) Configuring ECM Adaptor for CMIS:
-configure the CMIS Web services of the underlying CMIS-compliant ECM system in
owbootstrap.xml located at workdesk/WEB-INF/conf/cmis_prof.
Modify your server name and port as following :
<EcmAdapter>
<ClassName>com.wewebu.ow.server.ecmimpl.cmis.OwCMISNetwork </ClassName>
<Version>4.1.0</Version>
<WSDLRepository>http://server:port/cmis/RepositoryService?wsdl </WSDLReposito
<WSDLNavigation>http://server:port/cmis/NavigationService?wsdl </WSDLNavigation>
<WSDLObject>http://server:port/cmis/ObjectService?wsdl </WSDLObject>
<WSDLMultifiling>http://server:port/cmis/MultiFilingService?wsdl </WSDLMultifiling>
<WSDLDiscovery>http://server:port/cmis/DiscoveryService?wsdl </WSDLDiscovery>
<WSDLVersioning>http://server:port/cmis/VersioningService?wsdl </WSDLVersion>
<WSDLRelationship>http://server:port/cmis/RelationshipService?wsdl </WSDLRelationship>
<WSDLPolicy>http://server:port/cmis/PolicyService?wsdl </WSDLPolicy>
<WSDLACL>http://server:port/cmis/ACLService?wsdl </WSDLACL>
4) Do the Database configuration. Execute the following sql script in mysql db.
1) Use the supplied batch file to create the Alfresco Workdesk database and all database tables:(For windows)
(Delivery)\db\scripts\create_mysql_databases\create_OWDDB.bat
Alternatively, use the following script to create the Alfresco Workdesk database:(For Linux)
(Delivery)\db\scripts\create_mysql_databases\Create_MySQL_Database.sql
2) Use the following scripts to create every Alfresco Workdesk table manually:
(Delivery)\db\scripts\OwMySQL_CreateAttributeBagTable.sql
(Delivery)\db\scripts\OwMySQL_CreateDBHistoryManagerTable.sql *
(Delivery)\db\scripts\OwMySQL_CreateDBRoleManagerTable.sql *
3) Put the mysql connector jar at location /Tomcat/lib for creating JDBC provider.
4) Configure JDBC provider.
1.Edit the configuration file (Delivery)\db\tomcat\META-INF\context.xml by uncommenting the Mysql part block.
2. Change path value in the <Context> element to the value of the web application context root of your Alfresco Workdesk deployment, that is "workdesk".
3. Provide value for the parameters username, password and url in the configuration file to the values of your database server.
4. Create a new folder META-INF in your Alfresco Workdesk deployment if it does not exists, that is,0 (workdesk)\META-INF.
5. Copy the edited configuration template (Delivery)\db\tomcat\META-
INF\context.xml to (workdesk)\META-INF.
6.Create the required database tables if they don’t exist already.
Note : Make sure you entered the correct value for <JNDIName> in owbootstrap.xml, section <DefaultDataSource>. It has to be exactly the value of the name parameter from the <Resource name=”java:/JNDIName”...> tag of the copied context.xml configuration file.
Now Restart the tomcat server.Then hit the url http://localhost:8080/workdesk .
