It's visually represented as a flow chart, making it easy to understand the process.
Workflow:
========
A defined series of interconnected activities (tasks, decisions, approvals) that lead to a specific outcome.
Containers:
=========
Reusable building blocks that encapsulate data specific to a workflow instance. They hold information
relevant to the context of the workflow execution. The data exchange betwen Workflow - Activity - Task -
Method.
Activities:
=======
Actions or steps within a workflow that can be automated or require human intervention. Examples include
sending notifications, updating business objects, or triggering external applications.
Tasks:
==== =
Tasks are linked to the Activity, the actual task whether it is a background or foreground execution, the
codes are maintained in the Methods of a class / business objects.
Class Methods:
===========
Reusable pieces of code (ABAP code) that perform specific operations within a workflow. They can be used
to manipulate data, trigger actions, or interact with other systems.
Data Binding:
==========
The mechanism that connects workflow containers data to the task Data and further to the Method
parameters. This allows workflows to access and update relevant information seamlessly.
