Managing Workflow Extensions

The workflow feature enables you to add more control and constraints to the tasks executed within it. For example, you can add a constraint through a workflow where an approval from a manager is required for a user to sign-up to the API Store. You can engage a workflow if you require a third party interventions/approvals for actions which have a pre-defined path such as signing up, registering an application, subscribing to an API, etc.

Use workflow extensions to attach a workflow to the following API Store/API Publisher operations:

• Adding an Application Creation Workflow
• Adding an Application Registration Workflow
• Adding an API Subscription Workflow
• Adding a User Signup Workflow
• Invoking the API Manager from the BPEL Engine
• Customizing a Workflow Extension
• Configuring Workflows for Tenants
• Configuring Workflows in a Cluster
• Changing the Default User Role in Workflows
• Cleaning Up Workflow Tasks
• Adding an API State Change Workflow
