Workflow Engine

The workflow engine is a software service that provides the run-time execution for a workflow process. The functions provided by the workflow engine to support a workflow process include:

• Interpreting the process definition

• Creating process instances and managing their execution

• Navigating between activities and creating work items for their processing

Waveset captures activity-level variables for activities that contain a manual action. To minimize the storage needed for a workflow task, the workflow engine removes all other variables (before export) for completed activities.
