Uploading Notifications Into The System

The following diagram illustrates the steps involved in the uploading of notifications into the system.


The figure indicates that the system initiates a workflow process when a notification is uploaded from the external system.

When a notification's electronic transaction is received, it must be inserted into the notification upload staging (NUS) table. Why? Because the system periodically looks for pending records in the NUS table and attempts to create a workflow process to implement the notification's request.

It's important to be aware that the events in a workflow process execute the notification request. To help solidify this concept, consider this - the first event in a workflow process typically validates the attributes on the NUS record.
