Example: Publishing request processes for integration

In this example, we prepare the data from the ocmq file to integrate to Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) via Web Services. We will assume that as part of a project, a new employee needs to be hired and the hiring process (approvals and workflow) will be done within the Service Manager Request Management Module.

Since Request Management is not published as a Web Service, we will need to start by creating some customized Display options and Processes. Once these work in the Windows client, we will include them in the newly-created extaccess record.

Since the goal is to publish just the possibility to start the new hire process, a lot of the required information will be hard-coded in the request creation, to minimize overhead.
