About component steps

A component step makes it possible to route work to operations in custom Java™ or Java Message Service (JMS) components. In the workflow, the component step connects to a component queue configured for one or more operations in the custom component. You can place a component step on any workflow map.

To use custom components, the workflow system administrator uses the following tools to configure the component queue for use in a workflow definition:
  • The administration console
  • Process Task Manager
