Tongda oa connects workflows with other system data, new ideas of system integration, and oa workflows
In a development case over the past few days, I have gained a new understanding of the extended and integrated capabilities of workflows. In addition to daily approval, through some secondary development, it can also achieve the effect of interfacing with other software systems.
In enterprise applications, many situations are as follows: the Organization first goes to the OA system, where workflow applications have been launched, and many process approvals have been implemented in OA, in addition, everyone has formed the habit of using the OA workflow for approval. If there is another approval process in another software system, it is very difficult to popularize the application. In this case, if you want to smoothly promote the application of software, the best way is not to change the original approval process, but to transfer the approval results back to the application system, the second development extension of the OA workflow is involved here.
A general solution is to develop a program for detecting data, regularly round-robin concerned data tables, and synchronize data with the application software system in the event of business data changes, this method is also a solution, but it is more complicated to implement synchronization.
Another solution is to give full play to the data expansion function provided by OA and use the built-in data processing capability to achieve the effect of data expansion and synchronization. OA has made a lot of efforts in this regard, this is why so many users are willing to use this software. Of course, this development also requires coding for development, in addition, you must be familiar with the data structure of OA and have a good understanding of the external database to be processed.
Here, I only talk about these two points about how to use the OA system. We can say that the extended functions provided by OA make the workflow system as the core application of OA even more exciting!
