Is WorkflowGen compatible with BPM (Business Process Management) standards?
Yes. WorkflowGen is based on standards as defined by organizations like the WFMC (Workflow Management Coalition) and the BPMI (Business Process Management Initiative).
Will WorkflowGen run on Linux, Unix or Domino servers?
No. WorkflowGen is currently compatible with Windows Server 2000 SP3+, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 only. The SDK provided with WorkflowGen enables you to develop applications for any platforms (JSP, Linux, etc).
This module allows the content of a form data (XML) to be extracted and imported into one or more databases using SQL queries. You create SQL queries that can be performed by DBMS (INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE). These queries can be launched in a transaction. WorkflowGen macros give you access to web form field’s values and other process context parameters and allow you to use them in your queries. Use case: at the end of a leave application workflow, you can use XmlToDatabase to directly update the HR database.
Is it easy to integrate WorkflowGen with MS SharePoint (WSS included)?
Yes. The integration of WorkflowGen Advanced Edition and Ms Sharepoint Portal Server (or WSS) enables you to exchange data and files between both platforms.
What are other possible integrations with external systems?
Integrations to external systems using WorkflowGen are possible through the use of WorkflowGen Applications, RSS feeds, and the WorkflowGen Web Service API. Furthermore, integrations with WorkflowGen can be performed through the use of URL’s to perform the following types of functions:
- Request and action launches from any external site, with or without WorkflowGen frames and menus - Launching an action in a non-WorkflowGen window and redirecting to another (non-WorkflowGen) web site - Viewing a follow-up form disconnected from the WorkflowGen portal - Viewing a graphical follow-up disconnected from the WorkflowGen portal
