Understanding the document routing process
Document routing consists of processes, work nodes, worklists, and work packages. The system administrator creates the work nodes, processes, and worklists by using the system administration client.
The basic operations you can perform by using document routing
include:
- Starting a process
- Ending a process
- Continuing a process
- Suspending a process
- Resuming a process
- Getting work from a worklist
- Getting the next item from a worklist
- Defining, updating, and deleting a process
- Defining, updating, and deleting work node
- Defining, updating, and deleting a worklist
To define document routing processes in IBM® Content Manager, you use the graphical
workflow builder provided by IBM Content Manager to
model your document flows of business processes. Before a document
routing process definition can be used to route documents, it must
be verified by the graphical workflow builder. The graphical builder
imports and exports a process diagram in its XML format. This feature
is useful when you want to transport a diagram from one system to
another system. The system administration client can also import and
export Content Management objects in XML format.
