Hi Support,

Could you tell me the differences between WorkflowTask and WorkflowJob in SAP MDM API? And which can represent a workflow in Workflows tab in MDM Date Manager.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Songxu,

Workflow Task: It is the task(workflow steps like Process, Approver etc) assigned to different user during Workflow. User's use the workflow tabs in Data Manager to view and process workflow tasks. see page 91/654 of Data Manager Guide.

Workflow Job: Each workflow is invoked as a job that can consist of multiple records that move through the steps of a workflow (how many records are involved into your Workflow) as a group while simultaneously maintaining record-level granularity. Once the job has been launched, it moves automatically from step-to-step and from user-to-user, showing up in the inbound task queue in each useru2019s Workflows tab for disposition and processing.

Hello Song

Workflow jobID - unique identifier for one WF. For access to WF from API you should use workflow jobID.

Workflow task - logical notion - who can use that WF by that step

in WF pane in Data Manager you can see that WF with same WF JobID have different WF task -for different users
