Workflow Data Structures

A workflow process has two data structures: key data and additional data. The key data are the data items that make an instance of a process unique. Additional data contains all of the data that the process needs to complete the process flow.

The Process Master program (P98800) allows you to create the workflow data structure as you define a workflow process. When you create a workflow data structure within the Process Master program, the system automatically names the key data or additional data for you. However, you can rename the data structures to something else by entering a new name. The name for the key and additional structure are the same, except for the last character. Begin both structures with WF, formatted as WFxxxxyyyA or WFxxxxyyyB, where:

WF = The workflow data structure

xxxx = The system code

yyy = A next number (the numbering assignments follow current procedures in the respective application groups)

A = The key data structure

B = The additional data structure
