Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide > Planning Workflow Processes > Understanding Workflow Process RequirementsA workflow process operates on business objects and business components. Usually, each workflow process is associated with a business object. A workflow process consists of various tasks. There are many predefined tasks that can be used when you define a process. Some examples of the predefined tasks are:
Except for Siebel Operations, all of the above tasks are invoked by calling a method on a business service. Siebel has predefined these business services so they can be used in workflow processes. You may determine a specialized task that you are interested in calling in your workflow, such as "calculate credit risk." Specialized tasks can be added by defining a custom business service. Workflow Processes can call both predefined and custom business services. For more information on defining custom business services, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II. |
