Business Process Coordination Using Workflows

Connectors are composed of multiple components. These components are tied together using workflows. With different sets of configuration, you can alter generated messages and behavior. You can use the Workflow Process Designer and the Workflow Process Manager to configure your data integration business process flow. The Siebel Financial Services application provides sample workflows which you can use as a reference implementation for your data integration business processes. The following image shows one of these sample workflows from the sample database.
