You use the CA Workflow Process Definition Tool, also referred to as the CA Workflow Design Environment (IDE), to create and manage workflows. It is your primary tool for creating and managing process definitions and workflow instances, and for controlling workflow participant interaction.
Your company creates a business process to identify the resources, manual and automated activities, and activity relationships to realize your business goals. A workflow partially or fully automates the business process by defining the business process activities in a process definition. A process definition is a representation of your business process. A process definition is comprised of nodes, events, roles, actors, activities and decision branches.
While process definitions represent what you want to happen in your business process, process instances represent a running instantiation of the business process. By running a process definition, you create a process instance. You can create multiple process instances of the same process definition.
The Process Definition Tool can be accessed by clicking the CA Workflow link from the Administration Quick Start dashboard or from the Administration, Tools menu. The user can use the Process Definition Tool only as a member of the CA EEM Workflow Admin group. The first time you click the link, Java Web Start is used to install the application on your client machine.
