Workflow

Hi,

Can we use dfc apis to create a dm_process object (workflow template) at run time and proceed with that workflow? Destroying it after the completion and creating again each time. The reason of doing this is that we need a flexible workflow( any number of activities).

Is it possible?

Is it feasible?

Thanks,

Amit

Yes. Workflow manager and process builder is just a UI that calls the low level APIs on the backend. The challenge is exactly figure out what APIs it calls to create dm_process/dm_activity objects.

Try looking at this whitepaper as a primer:

Thanks.

Where do I get the low level APIs to create process and activities? Do you have any white paper on that also?

DFC is the api. Did you read the link?

Sorry for late reply. Yes I read the link, this is talking about creating a workflow instance and doing forward, reject etc

IDfWorkflowBuilder workflowBuilder = session.newWorkflowBuilder ( new DfId( "4b0f475b80002164" ) );

I want the functionality close to quickflow.. no static template(4b0f475b80002164) is given..I want to create the workflow template (business process) at run time not the workflow instance.

Thanks.
