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. |
