Create workflows
For more information about the graphical notations and XML representations for events, flows, gateways, tasks, process constructs, and more, refer to BPMN 2.0 Constructs.
IDM does not support the following constructs:
-
Create a workflow definition, and save it with a
bpmn20.xml
extension. -
Package the workflow definition file in a Business Archive File (
.bar
). A.bar
file is similar to a.zip
file, but with a different extension. -
Copy the
.bar
file to theopenidm/workflow
directory. -
Invoke the workflow using a script (
openidm/script/
), or directly, using the REST interface. For more information, refer to Invoke workflows.You can also schedule the workflow to be invoked repeatedly, or at a future time.
