Defining Integration Types

When you create Integration Types, select a task type:

End-User

Users must perform and validate. The task might be a generic task such as submitting data, or it might require product integration to facilitate or validate its completion.

System-Automated

Automatically executed in external applications when their start date and time are reached, and their predecessor tasks are completed, for example, an overnight feed from a General Ledger. System-Automated tasks are often executed after working hours. They require limited user interaction and do not have Assignees.

Event Monitoring Integration

Based on events that occur in external applications; for example, Journal Approve.

When you create a task, the type that you choose affects the runtime behavior of the task:

End-User

When you click the Go to Task icon, the system uses the execution URL and parameters.

System-Automated

The task runs according to the task parameters that you define.

Event Monitoring

The task waits for an event with a matching parameter value and then closes.
