Configuring a Workflow Process for a Multilingual Environment

This topic describes how to define a workflow process to function correctly in a multilingual environment. It includes the following topics:

• Using Literal Values in a Multilingual Environment
• Using Expressions in a Multilingual Environment
• Using Wait Steps with Global Time Calculations
• Using the Locale Code Parameter

To configure a workflow process to work correctly in a language other than the base language, you must make sure the database that your configuration uses can handle Multilingual Lists Of Values (MLOV) for the type of language that the production environment uses. For example, if you must modify a workflow to use FRA, and if the base language is ENU, then make sure that List of Values entries exist for the FRA language type.

For more information, see Siebel Global Deployment Guide.

To configure a workflow process for a multilingual environment

1. In the Siebel client, navigate to the Administration-Data screen, and then the List of Values view.
2. Run the following query:

   Type = "WF_*"

3. Run the MLOV upgrade utility to make sure the Siebel database is capable of handling a multilingual list of values.

   For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

4. In the List of Values list, make sure the Active property is set.
