Batch Workflow Processing

Sometimes, the event that triggers a workflow routing is actually a nonevent. That is, a situation exists but not because someone entered data into the system. The most common examples of this type of event are aging processes. For example, an invoice becomes overdue, an employee reaches his five-year anniversary, or a worklist entry remains unattended for more than a week.

PeopleSoft Application Engine enables you to monitor your database for this type of event. You can create an Application Engine program that runs a SQL query against the PeopleSoft database and passes the results to a component interface.

Using Application Engine programs in conjunction with PeopleSoft Process Scheduler, you can monitor the database tables for conditions that should trigger workflow events.
