Integrating Approval Server with an application
To link your application to the approval server and configure the approval process, you must perform the following tasks:
- Creating an approval request form that requesters will use to enter approval requests
- Creating two join forms that join your approval request form with two different approval server supporting forms
- Running the arjoinfix utility to configure the join forms for the approval server
The following approval server forms are used to create respective joins with the approval request form:- AP:Detail
- AP:Detail-Signature (a join of AP:Detail and AP:Signature created at the Approval Server level)
- Entering the approval request form in AP:Administration
- Defining the processes and rules in AP:Administration
- Adding workflow (at least one filter) to the approval request form that will start the approval process
- Adding notifications to your process
The topics in this section describe procedures for the first three actions, as well as adding notifications:
