About Developing a Workflow Process

The following describes a typical approach to developing a Workflow Process:

  1. Define. Create a definition for the Workflow Process, including the Process Properties, Steps and Connectors using the Workflow Process Designer.

  2. Simulate and Debug. Simulate the Workflow Process, which uses a Siebel Application (such as, Call Center) to step through the steps and ensure it is working as required. For more information, see Process of Testing a Workflow Process.

  3. Deliver. Commit the Workflow Process to the parent Workspace in which you designed it. This compiles it into the Runtime Repository tables in that Integration Workspace (or MAIN).

  4. Migrate and Test. Like any other Workspace-enabled repository object, you can migrate the Workflow Process's Runtime Repository definition to downstream environments for further testing.

  5. Migrate to Production. Once the Workflow Process has been fully tested and the Integration Workspace used for testing is delivered to the Workspace tied to Production, it will be migrated to the Production environment like any other Runtime Repository object.
