Table Description |
Process Definition:
A business process that is automated in Curam.
The status of a Process Definition is governed by the 'released' attribute:
Example You define a process using the Process Definition Tool (PDT). Curam creates a row on this table to store your process definition. You edit the process and when you are happy that the definition reflects your desired business process, you 'release' your Process Definition. The Curam application raises an event which you have configured to enact your business process. The workflow engine creates a Process Instance based on the most recent released version of your Process Definition. Technical Notes The terms 'business process' and 'workflow' are interchangeable in Curam. There is no 'Activity' database table. An activity is an XML element defined within the Process Definition metadata. Once a Process Definition has been released, it can never be edited; however, a new version of the Process Definition can be cloned and edited. Once released, the newer version of the Process Definition will be used for any new enactments of the process; however, existing Process Instances will continue to execute using the version of the Process Definition in place when they were enacted. Rows for Process Definitions which have been enacted are never deleted. See the Workflow Guide for further information. |
