Configuring the Workflows

Multiple workflows that require the Projected Asset Cache call the Retrieve or Initialize business service methods of the VORD Projected Asset Cache business service. While retrieving the Projected Asset Cache, these workflows might be required to pass search specifications using values available in the workflow. To provide the ability to perform these operations, the Retrieve and Initialize business service methods can read and operate on the following additional input arguments:

• Optional Asset Search Expression. This input argument queries the Asset Mgmt - Asset and Asset Mgmt - Asset XA business components.
• Optional Order Search Expression. This input argument queries the Order Entry - Line Items and Order Item XA business components.
• Optional Quote Search Expression. This input argument queries the Quote Item and Quote Item XA business components.

To set up workflows to change the Projected Asset Cache search specification, follow this procedure.

To configure the workflows

1. Identify the workflows that call the Retrieve or Initialize business service methods.
2. Launch Siebel Tools.
3. In Siebel Tools, select a workflow.
4. In the workflow, select the target step that calls the Retrieve or Initialize business service method.
5. Optionally, add input arguments to the workflow step, if needed to meet the customer business requirements.

   The additional input arguments are described in the following table.

   Input Argument	Type	Example Value
   Optional Asset Search Expression	Expression	'[Asset Id] <> ' + '"' + [&<Name of the parameter in the workflow>] + '"'
   Optional Order Search Expression	Expression	'[Account Id] <> ' + '"' + [&<Name of the parameter in the workflow>] + '"'
   Optional Quote Search Expression	Expression	'[Account Id] <> ' + '"' + [&<Name of the parameter in the workflow>] + '"'

   NOTE:  The input argument values in the table are examples. Typically, the Optional Search specification can contain run-time data, for example, Account Id, Quote Id, and so on.

   For more information about the workflow input argument configurations, see About Business Service and Workflow Configurations.

6. Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 for each additional workflow that calls the Retrieve or Initialize business service method.
7. Publish and activate the workflows.

Workflow changes are local. These changes are reflected only when the Retrieve or Initialize business service method is called from that workflow.
