Managing schedule tasks using workflows

Teamcenter workflow and Schedule Manager work together to manage your schedule tasks. When schedule tasks are assigned to a resource pool and a privileged user assigned, that information is passed to the workflow process when it starts.

During the workflow process for the schedule task, when a workflow process state changes to Started, Complete, or Aborted, the schedule task state in Schedule Manager is updated to In Progress, Complete, or Aborted, respectively.

You can change the mapping of the workflow process and schedule task states with the SM_WORKFLOW_STATUS_MAP preference.

When a task is completed in a workflow, Teamcenter marks the schedule task as complete.

Teamcenter creates a workflow as a remote workflow when the privileged user (or, in the absence of a privileged user, the workflow owner) is a remote user. When the system creates the remote workflow, it links the schedule task to that workflow and attaches all task attachments using GRM relations. It also replicates the attachments. You can configure the workflow to either check them out remotely or transfer ownership to the remote site.
