The accelerator package of Product 360 10.1 includes a new business process management project called "StepWorkflow" providing reference templates for workflow implementations. It comes with the following major benefits:
The complexity of designing workflows has been significantly reduced following an easy XML definition approach
The development of new workflows is much more structured
It becomes a lot easier to troubleshoot workflow designs
The sample project contains tested and Informatica approved re-usable code for further adjustments
The design reduces the amount of individually running processes on the BPM server significantly
The templates enable batching by using the message queue built into their design right from the very start
So overall the "StepWorkflow" samples should enable you to rapidly design business-case-specific workflows with workflow tasks, Flex UIs, data quality checks and approve tasks based on a simple XML definition. The accelerator package also includes an example project with XML definitions of simple to more complicated workflows. These examples can be used as starting point for project specific process designs in production environments:
Simple example as part of the project (1 task)
More complex example as part of the project (5 tasks with DQ checks, parallel and sequential, and a final approval step)
