This post is continuation of post “Siebel Workflow – Process Steps”. In previous post we discussed about the Process steps of Siebel Workflow. In Today’s post , we’ll  discuss further about the Siebel Workflow’s Process Steps.

Ø  Decision Point Step : Same as any scripting language you can apply conditions in workflow as well, to perform this you need Decision Point step. Use of this box is pretty straight as Start Box. You simply need to add Decision Point Box as is, then you need to add branches of condition type for decision making.

Ø  Sub Process Step : In simple words a workflow with in a workflow. suppose if there is a need at some point when you have to call another workflow, then you can use this Sub Process Step in your workflow. you need to provide the workflow name in “Subprocess Name” property.

Note: Once a Sub Process step is created within a workflow, to directly edit the corresponding subprocess definition, double-click the Sub Process step to reach the design canvas for that subprocess. You can also right-click the Sub Process step, then choose Edit Sub Process. 

Lets take an example, Suppose we have two business component BC1 and BC2 under the business object BO1 and BO2 respetively. If condition is checking in BC1 and we are executing the action in BC2 which is not related to BO1, then we can create a workflow based on BO2 and we can call that workflow in sub process step in main workflow.

In next post “Siebel Workflow – Process Steps – Part III” of this series will discuss about the rest of Siebel Workflow’s Process Steps.
