Create workflows
For more information about the graphical notations and XML representations for events, flows, gateways, tasks, process constructs, and more, see BPMN 2.0 Constructs.
IDM does not support the following constructs:
-
Create a workflow definition, and save it with a
bpmn20.xmlextension. -
Package the workflow definition file in a Business Archive File (
.bar). A.barfile is similar to a.zipfile, but with a different extension. -
Copy the
.barfile to theopenidm/workflowdirectory. -
Invoke the workflow using a script (
openidm/script/), or directly, using the REST interface. For more information, see Invoke workflows.You can also schedule the workflow to be invoked repeatedly, or at a future time.
