Task Management Services example use
Task Management Services can be used, for example, in the following way:
Ryan, a model designer, uses the UI to define three task
definitions in an InfoSphere® MDM solution:
- Type 1: Add Item
- Type 2: Enrich Item with Marketing Info
- Type 3: Enrich Item with Financial Info
In a business process, Dale, a business administrator, uses the Administrative UI to create two task instances based on the solution data/business model that Ryan created.
Patricia, a business manager for new item registration, logs in to
the Business UI Task Inbox and finds that there two new tasks, Task1
and Task2 on her list. She assigns both Task1 and Task2 to Sara, who
is a business analyst:
- Task1: Add a new laptop (SKU# 987001) to the inventory, using task type Type 1
- Task2: Add another new laptop (SKU# 987002) to the inventory, using task type Type 1
Sara logs in to the Business UI and finds Task1 and Task2 on her list. She launches Task1. After running through the UI actions, which are defined in the activity diagram of a task definition, she comes back to the Business UI and sets Task1 to Success. Then she does the same for Task2.
After the completion of
Task1 and Task2, Dale, the business administrator, creates the following
task instances:
- Task3: Enrich the first laptop (SKU# 987001) with marketing info, using task type Type 2
- Task4: Enrich the second laptop (SKU# 987002) with financial info, using task type Type 3
After creating these task instances, Dale assigns Task3 to Ivan, a marketing manager, and he assigns Task4 to Theresa, a finance manager.
