WorkflowGen database

The WorkflowGen database contains:

  • User management

  • Process definition

  • Follow-up information about ongoing and closed processes, as well as significant workflow-related data (approvals, amounts, documents, etc.)

  • Files (such as PDF documents) are stored on the server and auto-archived in chronological order

  • XML transformation (for EAI features)

  • RAISEEXCEPTION to cancel one or many actions

  • Launch a new request from within an ongoing request
