Regular Workflow Processing

A workflow is executed in the transactional mode.

  • When the process is executed in transactional mode, TIBCO MDM persists the event to the database and the documents to the file system. The file name is associated with the event in the database. The event is then posted to a workflow queue for processing.
  • The event type and subtype determine the workflows triggered for an event. The workflow reads the message associated with the event from the file system and starts a new process. This file is the main input parameter to the workflow. Each workflow has a set of activities which in turn have input and output parameters.
  • Activity state changes are stored to the database. Activities can generate documents (written to the file system) that act as output parameters for that activity and input parameters to a subsequent activity in the flow.
