Using an Event to Start the Workflow Process

You can use the following events to start a Workflow Process:

  • Runtime event. A runtime event occurs if a change occurs in the client or in the business component. Processing that a runtime event starts occurs in real time.

  • User event. A user event is a unique event that is internal to Siebel Workflow. It starts or resumes a long-running Workflow Process. The User Event business service creates a user event.

You can define an event, from the administrative interface, for one of the following object types:

  • Application
