Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide > Developing Workflow Processes > Process of Planning Workflow Processes > Determining How to Manage Objects You ModifyThis task is a step in Process of Planning Workflow Processes. When you plan a workflow process, you can determine the requirements that are necessary to manage the development of objects, such as special requirements that exist for merging, archiving, and importing data maps, or for copying message tables. If a team of developers is involved in the development environment, then you must consider if the team can use project check in and check out. To determine how to manage objects you modify
Object Management Tools That You Can Use in Siebel ToolsWhen you develop a workflow process in Siebel Tools, you work on a local database where Siebel Workflow is a repository object and where a workflow process belongs to a project. Though compiling a Siebel Repository File is a typical practice for other repository objects, a workflow process uses a different deployment mechanism. You do not compile an SRF after you develop a workflow process. For more information, see Process of Deploying a Workflow Process. Although Siebel CRM typically uses the following behaviors for other repository objects, a workflow process does not use them:
To develop a workflow process, a developer usually uses a local database. To use a local database, the developer must check out the workflow process from the master repository. The local database must contain the data objects that the workflow process references. The developer must import into the local database any data objects that are not docked and that are not packaged as part of the database extract. Siebel Workflow does not dock or reference the following objects:
If you lock the project in the master repository, and if you connect Siebel Tools to the development database, then you can develop or modify a workflow process. It is not necessary for you to make lists of values available to the local database. |
