How to set up Generic Workflow Handling in Alloy
Alloy allows you to flexibly expose Decision Workflows onto your Lotus Notes client. Each Decision Workflow step can have its individual Notes Form on the client side to visualize the related information and to offer the available decision options to the end-user. In some other cases you might rather look for a generic Workflow handling on the Notes/Domino side. And that's what this blog is about.

The one with the Alloy Request Trigger
Alloy uses several queues (on both sides SAP and IBM) to guarantee message delivery. However some of those queues have a scheduled job that monitors and processes items from within the queue at certain time points.

How will a person’s role change during the project? Dirk Lehmann in Alloy, Emerging Technologies, Interoperability IBM [Mar. 09, 2009 02:21 AM | 1 Comments | Permalink]
