How to create Custom Activity in Workflow

[Vijayakumar]

In Workflow editor, we can see 2 activities 

1. Core Activity

2. Custom activity, so how to create custom activity, so that I can use that in my workflow.

Are you working on PDI? If Yes then try to activate the plugin Orchestration.

Hi

You can create your own custom Workflow Activities by navigating to:

> Workflow > Administration > Activity Definitions

It's a bit chunk of knowledge, that you need to know for implementing your own WOrkflow Activities.

You need to learn a bit about the lifecycle and events that the Workflow engine is using to advane workflows.

You may need the following page on Docs Online as a good information on that:

Let me know if that answers your question and mark my answer as correct and helpful

Hi Megha,

Unable to use templates when I add through activity definitions->new option, also it is created under Core Activity not in Custom Activity

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi

Below, you just can see what happened, when I clicked NEW on:

> Workflow > Administration > Activity Definition

I filled in the Form as shown below and clicked on SAVE.

For now, I did not change the Script (on the Script TAB) at all.

After Saving, the new Workflow Activity will be available immediately in the Workflow Editor (see screenshot below).

It is correct, that the new Activity appears mainly under the "CORE" Activities, but it will be "sub-divided" into the Category mentioned (Here "Dirk") 

Let me know if that answers your question and mark my answer as correct and helpful.

Enjoy & BR
