Creating the Business Process Vehicle


This topic is a task in the process Development Process Overview.

In this task, you use Siebel development tools to create the structure in which the business process is implemented. Depending on the vehicle you choose, you do activities in the following areas:

Creating a Siebel Runtime Event

You can implement rules in supported business component runtime events to do tasks such as field validation and dynamic setting of field values, in which it is not necessary to access the content in the output property set that results from calling the rule.

Activities

  • Configure an action set to invoke the Business Rule Service business service with appropriate rule modules.
  • Associate the action set with a runtime event that is supported by the rules engine.

Integrating Rules with a Siebel Runtime Event

Creating a Siebel Task

Siebel Task UI allows you to define user-interactive tasks that help the user to complete business processes.

Activities

  • Create the task.
    • Layout the task flow in the Task Editor.
    • Set properties for the task, the task steps, and the step connectors.
    • To implement rules in the task, you must include a business service step.
  • Create business component and task group definitions.
    • Define the views in which the task is available to the user
  • Create UI elements.
    • For a task UI, this involves creating task views.
  • Bind the task views to task steps.

Creating a Siebel Workflow

Siebel Workflow allows you to define multi-step processes that can run on a pre-defined schedule, in response to a runtime event, or when manually initiated. A Siebel workflow process may or may not be user-interactive.

Activities

  • Create the workflow process in the Process Designer.
    • Layout the workflow.
    • Set properties for the workflow process, the workflow process steps, and the step connectors.
    • To implement rules in the workflow process, you must include a business service step.
  • Create UI elements.
    • For interactive workflow processes, you can add synthetic event controls to existing views to enhance process navigation.
