Available with Workflow Manager license.
As an ArcGIS Workflow Manager administrator, you can add and manage properties in the WorkflowManager.conf file to configure custom settings for ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server and the web app. After installing Workflow Manager, the configuration file is located at %ProgramData%\esri\workflowmanager\WorkflowManager.conf.
Note:
If your ArcGIS Enterprise implementation contains more than one ArcGIS Server machine with Workflow Manager Server, changes to the configuration file must be repeated in each instance of ArcGIS Server.
Administrative parameters
The following parameters can be modified to define custom attributes:
| Parameter | Description | Example format |
|---|---|---|
LogRetentionPeriod | Controls the frequency of when log messages in the web app are deleted by the cleanup task. This property is set to 7 days by default. This property does not alter the frequency of when Workflow Manager Server logs are deleted. | LogRetentionPeriod = 7 days |
allowUnsecureWebhooks | Controls whether incoming webhooks require header security. Starting at 11.2, this property is set to false by default. Note:If you are using the ArcGIS Survey123 webhook to create jobs in Workflow Manager, you must set this property to true. Caution:Setting this property to true allows anyone with the webhook URL to create jobs in the web app. | allowUnsecureWebhooks = false |
webRequestAllowLocal | Controls whether the Send Web Request step permits requests to localhost. | webRequestAllowlocal = false |
webRequestAllowedProtocols | Controls which protocol is permitted during the Send Web Request step. | webRequestAllowedProtocols = ["https"] |
webRequestBlockedHosts | Controls which hosts are blocked from receiving web requests during the Send Web Request step. | webRequestBlockedHosts = ["169.254.169.254/32", "127.0.0.1/32", "1/128"] |
webRequestBlockedPorts | Controls which ports are blocked during the Send Web Request step. | webRequestBlockedPorts = ["80", "81"] |
Geoprocessing tool names that match Arcade expressions
If the name of a geoprocessing tool matches the name of an ArcGIS Arcade expression, such as Buffer or Clip, uncomment allowedList and add tool names that should not be evaluated as Arcade expressions. Alternatively, you can enclose the tool name in single or double quotation marks in the Run Pro GP Tool step's configuration.
Configure a high-availability deployment
For highly available Workflow Manager deployments, each machine must be configured to enable high availability:
Note:
When federating the ArcGIS Server machines on which Workflow Manager Server is installed with your ArcGIS Enterprise portal, set the Administration URL to a URL that can be used to communicate with all servers in the site.
- Open %ProgramData%\esri\workflowmanager\WorkflowManager.conf in a text editor.
- Uncomment the following lines in the WorkflowManager.conf file:
- play.modules.disabled += "esri.workflow.utils.inject.LocalDataProvider"
- play.modules.enabled += "esri.workflow.utils.inject.DistributedDataProvider"
If these lines don't exist in your WorkflowManager.conf file, add them to the bottom of the file.
- Save the change to the file.
- Restart the ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server service using the Windows Services console.
- Repeat steps 1 through 4 on each Workflow Manager Server machine.
Workflow Manager Server is now configured for high availability.
