Siebel Workflow Activation -- Highlights

I had recently come across a problem on workflow activation which revealed some interesting facts about activation process. Some of them are listed down below and it will be helpful for Siebel beginners (bees)

· All versions (both completed and Not in use) of workflow process are stored on repository tables. These can be migrated from one environment to another environment through repository migration.

· Only completed workflows can be activated.

· Activation of workflow process is nothing but creating a run time instance of a workflow. These activated workflows are stored in Siebel runtime tables and these will not migrated along with repository migration.

· Siebel applications use only active version of workflows which are available in Siebel runtime tables.

· For successful activation, Workflow constructed on a business object should satisfy the following conditions.

o Business object should have a primary business component.

o Business object should be compiled on Siebel application SRF.
