process - xfaForm variable not available

[andrew_lucking]

Hi all,

I have a bit of a newbie problem. We have Livecycle (8.0.1) deployed and I'm trying to get up to speed on things so am working through the "Creating Your First LiveCycle ES Application" found in the Workbench help. I'm running into a problem defining variables for the process in that I don't seem to have the xfaForm variable type available.

Apparently I need to get the adobe-taskmanager-dsc component installed?  However I can't seem to locate it - I understand the jar should be in the /deploy/ folder but isn't. Another thread on this forum suggests that it may be due to not having Process Management installed: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1366637  I do have a "LiveCycle Process Management ES" item in the "Services" section of the admin console yet the about page only lists
"LiveCycle Rights Management ES" under installed components.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andrew

Andrew,

Indeed, you do not have Process Management installed. The reason that you see this option in the Admin console is because the process engine is actually part of the foundation of LC ES used to execute service orchestrations as opposed to human-based workflows.

You need to install LC Process Management to get the bits you need. If you are licensed for the Process Management solution component, it would have been installed to your server. However, you need to make sure that Process Management is selected when you run Configuration Manager to ensure that the bits are deployed into the server runtime environment.

That makes sense. Thanks for the quick response Marcel.
