Pieces of Workflow 7.0
Description Software piece
Workflow Solution is the piece of Workflow 7.0 that is
installed as an integrated solution on the Symantec
Management Platform and is accessible through the
Symantec Management Console. It facilitates licensing and
reports with the platform. It also integrates Workflow
Designer and Workflow Server with Symantec Management
Platform. This integration lets Workflow interact with other
solutions, such as creating tasks that other solutions can
use. The solution piece also lets you distribute components
through the Symantec Management Console. Workflow Solution
Workflow Designer is the tool used to design processes. It
contains components that you can arrange into processes
and then publish to a Workflow Server. It should be installed
on computers other than the Symantec Management
Platform host. Installation of Workflow Designer is not
required. Workflow Designer is dependent on Workflow
Server to be able to publish workflows.
For more information about Workflow Designer, see the
Workflow 7.0 User's Guide.
Workflow Designer
Workflow Server runs and manages published workflow
projects. It should be installed on any computer to which
you want to publish: a designated server or your local
computer. It is installed automatically when you install
Workflow 7.0. Typically, you should designate a server as
the production Workflow server and install Workflow Server
on that server so there is a central location for all
production-ready workflows.
For more information, see the Workflow Solution User's
Guide.
Workflow Server
Process Manager is a Web portal used to manage published
processes that include human interaction. It should be
installed on a central Process Manager server. Installation
of Process Manager is not required. For a development and
testing environment, install Process Manager on a design
computer. For a production environment, install it on a
central server.
For more information, see the Workflow 7.0 User's Guide.
