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.
