Adding a New Message to a Workflow

---

To support a new message, modify the processes in the Business Object-dependent workflow layer as described in the following procedure.

To add a new message to a workflow

Identify the business object and business component or components that will be active when the message is initiated.
Find the existing business object layer workflow process that is based on the same business object in Step 1.

The existing workflow processes follow a naming convention to make them easier to find. For example, the business object layer workflow process that handles messages on the FINS Teller Branch business object is called the FINS Teller Branch Connector.

From the Siebel Workflow Administration screen, Workflow Processes view, revise the workflow in Step 2.
Add a branch and a wait step in a manner similar to that used in the existing messages.
Edit the wait step so that in the output arguments section, values are assigned to the following process properties:
Teller IFX Dispatcher Map Integration Object Name
Teller IFX Message Full Name

The existing Teller workflow processes use the default FINS IFX Envelope v101 envelope, so you do not have to explicitly identify it.

If you want to query records from more than one business component (in other words, if your integration object has more than just a primary integration component), set values for the following process properties:
IFXSearchSpec
IFXSearchSpec%1

See Table 30 for details on setting these values.

Edit the branch step near the start of the workflow to branch to your new wait step.

Use the EventName process property to determine which branch to take.

If your message is initiated from a business object that does not have an existing business object-dependent workflow defined, you will need to create a new workflow to support this business object. To do this, copy an existing business object-dependent workflow process, rename it, and change the business object to match the one that is needed to initiate the message. You can then edit the workflow to set the branches and wait steps accordingly.

For more information on how to set the EventName process property, see Initiating Messages.
