Siebel Approval Manager Workflow

SAM approval workflow follows specific steps in the SAM approval process. These steps can be defined specifically for an approval profile or for all approval profiles.

The SAM approval workflow includes the following steps:

1. Developer enters the unique issue identifier from the associated issue tracking system (for example, the bug number from Bugzilla) into the SAM application.
2. SAM populates all detailed information from the associated issue tracking system to the SAM application itself.
3. Developer enters the source code location such as branch, workspace name, and so on.
4. SAM validates the source code branch or workspace.
5. Developer submits the approval request.
6. Depending on the approval process that is set up by the SAM administrators, approval managers or approval committees are notified.
7. Approvers review the request and then either approve or deny the requests.
8. SAM delivers the source code or workspaces information to the SCM (Software Configuration Management) system.
