Reg: Java API for MDM work flow

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using MDM java API (Version: 5.5 SP 06 Patch 2) for webdynpro. I am creating a record in MDM using MDM java API. Once the record gets created in MDM i need to call the MDM workflow. Is there any java API available to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro. If that is not possible, what is the alternative to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks,

Prasanthi.

Hi Jitesh,

can you please provide more details about exposing MDM workflow on the portal using MDM java API.

Hi Prasanthi,

You need to use the three main classes to work with MDM Workflows

1. RetrieveWorkflowTasksCommand

2. WorkflowTask

Both of the above classes are used to retrieve the current workflow tasks.

3. WorkflowTaskAction

4. WorkflowActionMenuNode

Above classes tells the possible actions of the workflow task.

You will find more information about the above classes in the Java docs

I would still suggest to use UWL if you dont need any customization.

Hi Jitesh,

The two solutions which you have given triggers the workflow in MDM and it uses MDM GUI there after. I dont want to use the MDM GUI. I want to do it through webdynpro screens.

Hi Prasanthi,

There are two ways to expose the MDM Workflow functionality on portal

1. MDM UWL

2. Using MDM Java APIs

If you dont want to enhance the existing workflow functionality then it would be better to use MDM UWL else you need to write lot of java code. For more information on MDM UWL integration refer the below link

Hi Prashanthi,

Set the Trigger Action of workflow to Record Add so that whenever new record added into MDM either by using Data Manager or using Java API.

If you want to use APIs for workflow then refer the threads suggested by Minaz and in addition use the below link
