Setting Persistence for Workflow Processes

Setting the Persistence fields for a workflow process assists with monitoring and tracing the process. Setting the persistence fields is part of working with workflow process definitions.

For full details on creating, administering, and working with workflow processes, refer to Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide.

Field
Description
Persistence Frequency
Persistence Frequency controls how often the state of the workflow is written to the database.
The setting On Pause saves the data whenever the workflow is in the start or end step plus any other step that is waiting. The setting Every Step saves the data at every step execution in the workflow.
Persistence Level
The level setting controls the quantity of workflow state data saved to the database.
The setting Current State only saves the data at the current step whereas the setting All Steps saves the data for all steps.
