Parameter wrkrmtmac
The WRKRMTMAC parameter is used to handle the action invoked when a user decides to give an answer by clicking a link included in a mail received from the Sage X3 Workflow system.
When this happens, the link opens an action in a web page, which triggers the creation of a file that will be later managed by a batch task called AWRKSIG. This batch task will execute the code requested by the answer given by the user.
The folder where the answer files are created with a ".lka" extension is defined by the parameter WRKRMTDIR, and the server where the file is written is defined by WRKRMTMAC.
Such an answer file contains:
* a chronological ID,
* the response received,
* an additional security key.
Parameter value
If the parameter value is empty, the server used is the application server. Otherwise, if a value is given, it must be a server in which at least a Sage X3 administration engine has been installed, and that can be reached through the network from the application and / or execution server.
Note that the folder path you give on this server, defined by the parameter WRKRMTMAC, is described in the sandbox configuration file as a writable location on the server, otherwise the system will never have access to it to create the notification files.
Comments
There is no difference between the method the system worked in version 6 and version 7, except that in version 7 the web client manages the distant signatures instead of the Apache web server. This also makes some parameter related to this process no longer used.
