Building a custom application to implement an activity (deprecated)

Build a custom application using the IBM® Business Automation Workflow Web API to implement an activity in a BPD.

If you want to build a custom application to implement an activity within a process, you can use either the IBM Business Automation Workflow Web APIs or REST APIs to enable your custom application to interact with Business Automation Workflow. For example, the Business Automation Workflow Web API provides operations that enable you to pass variables from an Business Automation Workflow BPD to a custom application and then back to the BPD for continued processing.

To create an external implementation with the REST APIs, these articles are helpful: Using the REST APIs in IBM Business Process Manager and Integrating a business process application with an external system using the REST API.
