Process of Deploying a Workflow Process

This process is a step in Roadmap to Developing a Workflow Process.

To deploy a workflow process, perform the following tasks:

1. Preparing the Run-time Environment for a Workflow Process
2. Publishing a Workflow Process
3. Activating a Workflow Process

Workflow definition and workflow deployment occur separately. After you have defined a workflow process in the Process Designer in Siebel Tools, you deploy the workflow process by preparing the run-time environment, publishing the workflow in Siebel Tools, then activating the workflow in the Siebel client.

When deploying, the workflow process definition is read from the repository then Siebel Workflow writes the definition to the run-time environment as XML. You deploy the workflow process with the workflow's deployment parameters, Replication, Activation Date, Expiration Date, and Monitoring Level. For more information, see Setting Workflow Process Monitoring Levels.

For a conceptual overview of this topic, see Workflow Deployment Architecture.
