Below is the table with different object types that has some role in workflow (5.3) with its description from Documentum Object Reference Manual

Object Type

Short Description

Detailed Information

dm_workflow

Contains the runtime information about a workflow.

A workflow object contains the runtime information about a workflow.

dm_activity

An activity object defines a workflow activity.

The attributes in an activity object define who performs the activity and the packages and work items generated from the activity.

dm_process

A process object contains the definition of a workflow process.

A process object is created when a user creates a workflow definition in either Workflow Manager or Business Process Manager. There are three inherited attributes that are reserved for internal use for process objects: a_special_app, a_status, and a_application_type.

dmi_workitem

Stores information about a task for a human or automatic performer.

Work items are generated by Content Server from an activity object. Users cannot create work items. Users can modify only the following attributes: a_held_by, a_wq_doc_profile, a_wq_flag, a_wq_name, and a_wq_policy_id.

dmc_workqueue

Represents a work queue for work items generated from a workflow

A work queue object represents a work queue for workflow tasks. The workqueue object type is installed by a script when Content Server is installed. However, work queues (instances of the type) are created and managed using Webtop.

dmc_workqueue_category

Defines a category for a work queue.

A work queue category object represents a category of work queues. The object type has no attributes defined for it. It inherits all its attributes from its supertype, dm_folder. It uses only the object_name, acl_name, and acl_domain attributes. The object_name attribute stores the work queue category name

dmc_workqueue_policy

Defines configuration information for a work queue.

A work queue policy object defines configuration parameters for handling a task in a  workqueue. The parameters control how the items are handled. Each work queue has one associated work queue policy. If a document associated with a task has a defined work queue policy, that policy overrides the work queue’s policy.

dmi_wf_timer

Records the configuration of a timer for a workflow activity.

A wf timer object describes a timer for a workflow activity. The wf timer objects are created automatically when the timer is instantiated.
