Defining the workflow system

A workflow system is a collection of isolated regions. An isolated region contains the queues, rosters, and event logs that are necessary to create and process workflows. A workflow system uses the same database connection and schema as the object store with which it is associated. An object store can contain only one workflow system.

About this task

Tip: If you upgraded from a previous release, you might have workflow systems that are considered legacy workflow systems. Legacy workflow systems have the following characteristics:
  • A legacy workflow system is not associated with an object store.
  • A legacy workflow system cannot be used as the foundation for an IBM®® Case Manager system.
  • You cannot create a legacy workflow system.
You can migrate a legacy workflow system to a workflow system by associating the legacy workflow system with an object store. After a workflow system is migrated, it cannot revert to a legacy workflow system.
  • Accessing the workflow system
    You can use the administration console to administer the workflow system.
  • Configuring the workflow system
    As a workflow administrator, you must perform a variety of tasks to configure the workflow system
  • Maintaining the workflow system
    As a workflow administrator, you must perform a variety of tasks to maintain the workflow system.
  • Coordinating workflow design
    As a workflow administrator, you work with the workflow author and application developer to ensure that all of the necessary pieces are configured to support the workflow.
  • Analyzing workflows
    As a workflow administrator, you can use a variety of tools to analyze the information that is captured from active processes in the workflow event logs.
