Workflow Manager Service (idwfm)
The Workflow Manager Service (idwfm) carries out automated workflow tasks, and is responsible for notifying the actors in a request (requesters, recipients, authorizers).
For example, when a user makes a request using the View and update profile (IDR) module, the CGI program contacts the Workflow Manager Service, which then processes the request and sends out emails to authorizers. The Workflow Manager Service uses the Transaction Monitor Service (idtm) to run connectors for approved requests.
Dependencies / requirements
The Workflow Manager Service is dependent on the Database Service . If you restart the database service, you must restart the Workflow Manager Service.
The Workflow Service needs to be running before the Transaction Monitor Service (idtm) and after idtm stops, so it can receive the results of the already-triggered operations.
Configuration
The service is automatically installed and started on the Bravura Security Fabric server during setup. You can modify the following parameters related to this service on the Service information page:
