    Field Description
    Server Name The display name of this BAW server.

    Server Url The BAW server URL, e.g., https://bawserver:9443. It is the prefix of the BAW Process Admin URL or Process Portal URL. In a BAW HA environment, this field should be the URL of the load balancer.
    REST User Name The name of the user who is a member of the tw_admins or tw_authors group and has the Read permission to the target process application (If you want to catch a new snapshot for this process application in IDA, for example, Trigger by new Snapshot, you need to have the Write permission to the process application).
    REST Password The password of the user.
    Auth Command Choose the custom Java command that can automate the custom SSO page of the BAW server 1.
    Auth Method When the BAW server doesn’t support BASIC Authentication, please set the authentication method to OTHER.
    Connected PS Server The Connected Server Name is the online PS server name. Authorized users can install snapshots of process applications on connected Process Servers. This field only needs to be filled when this server is a Process Server and is connected to the Process Center. It can be obtained from the Process Center under the Servers tab. .
    Server Host The BAW server host, the IP or the hostname of the Process Server. It is used for snapshot deployment from PC to PS. In a BAW HA environment, you can get this value from one of the application cluster members.
    SOAP port The SOAP port ID defined in the WebSphere console. To determine the correct port number, see the WebSphere administrative console Ports collection page (click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Communications > Ports and find the value for SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS). In a BAW HA environment, use the port configured for the application cluster member.
    WAS admin Command It is the path of wsadmin.sh on the Linux server. In a BAW HA environment, use the path of wsadmin.sh in the application cluster member.
    WAS Admin username The name of the WebSphere Administrative user who can log in to the WebSphere console and manage the product resources and user accounts in WebSphere Application Server. In a BAW HA environment, use the WebSphere Admin user configured for the application cluster member.
    WAS Admin password The password of the WebSphere admin user.
    SSH User Name The user who can access PC and PS by SSH key. This field is used for snapshot deployment from PC to PS. This user should have permission to execute wsadmin.sh. In a BAW HA environment, use the SSH user configured for the application cluster member.
    SSH key Used for snapshot deployment from PC to PS. The way to generate an SSH key is here: Link.

Notes: If you log in and get a 401 unauthorized error, please check if your function ID belongs to the tw_admins (administrative access) and tw_authors (non-administrative access) groups.
