Understanding How to Create a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Process (Release 9.2.6)

Note: This chapter has been updated in support of Release 9.2.6. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Modeler is available on a 32-bit development client. Starting with Release 9.2.6, only 64-bit platform is supported. You can use Workflows, a web-based user interface that you can launch from the Orchestrator Studio, to manage and configure the workflow processes. However, if you are on a 32-bit environment, you can use both JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Modeler and Workflows from the Orchestrator Studio for managing your workflow processes.

A JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process is an object in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. You create and manage a workflow process in Object Management Workbench (OMW) similar to any other object. When you create a workflow process, the system automatically adds it to your Default Project folder in OMW.

The following steps outline the high-level processes for creating a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process:

  1. Create key and additional data structures for the workflow process.

  2. Create the workflow process by naming it and assigning the appropriate data structures to it.

  3. Use Orchestrator Studio Workflows to add and configure each component of the workflow process.

  4. Attach the workflow process to the application from which you want the process to start.

Some of the steps of each process can consist of several additional tasks. For example, when you add an Information or Action task to a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process in Workflows, you might have to create distribution lists, add event rules, and create a message template.
