Modifying the WebSphere MQ Workflow application

This chapter describes how create a User-Defined Program Execution Server (UPES) that can interact with the connector for WebSphere MQ Workflow.

In the WebSphere MQ Workflow application, nodes are steps in a process that get work done. Each node is associated with a certain activity (for example, order approval) that corresponds to a role (for example, department head).

Nodes can issue requests and respond to other nodes or to applications that are external to WebSphere MQ Workflow. To enable a node to communicate with the connector for WebSphere MQ Workflow, you must first specify a User-Defined Program Execution Server (UPES).
