Designing Workflows
Use the Workflow Designer or Workflow Designer (Advanced) application to create workflow processes that reflect your business processes. A workflow process defines the actions and notifications that can occur at different points in a business process.
- Creating workflow processes
- Designing workflows with Workflow Designer canvas
Using the Workflow Designer canvas you get a graphical view of a Workflow process that lets you see the process elements and how they are connected. The Workflow Designer application Canvas tab provides the tools and work space to create, view, and modify Workflow processes. - Designing workflows with Workflow Designer (Advanced) canvas
The Workflow Designer (Advanced) canvas is an ILOG-based canvas that provides a graphical view of a workflow process, showing how the process elements are connected. The Workflow Designer (Advanced) application Canvas tab provides the tools and work space to create, view, and modify workflow processes. - Setting node properties
You use the Workflow Designer or Workflow Designer (Advanced) application to create workflow processes that reflect your business processes. A workflow process defines the actions and notifications that can occur at different points in a business process. - Setting workflow processes to automatically initiate
You can specify that when a user creates and saves a new record in an application, the record is automatically routed into a workflow process. Each object can have only a single process that is automatically initiated. - Setting processes to not auto-initiate
You use the Workflow Designer or Workflow Designer (Advanced) application to specify that when a record is created and saved in an application, the record is not routed into a workflow process. Each object can have only a single process that is initiated automatically. - Duplicating workflow processes
You can use the Duplicate Process action to create a copy of an existing Workflow process, for example, if you wanted to create similar processes for different objects. After you duplicate a Workflow process, you then can modify it as needed. - Sample work order workflows
You can use the sample work order workflows to get a list of applications, and start/stop these applications on the WebSphere® Application Server.
