Batch workflows – Are used to collect, process and distribute file-based data, also referred to as an Offline model. Batch Workflows can be configured for multi-threaded execution, and enforces a first-in-first-out processing order and a strict transaction boundary based on each batch processed.
Real-time workflows – Enables online processing of requests/answers with other systems. These Workflows use multi-threading to enable execution of large numbers of independent execution paths simultaneously.
Task workflows – Used to execute common activities such as cleanup or maintenance tasks. A number of System Tasks are pre-configured in MediationZone and can be complemented with any user-defined activity. Task Workflows are further described in Workflow Types [hide]8.1[/hide][hide]8.2[/hide].
The workflow configuration is used to design and configure workflows, by adding agents and connecting them to each other. This is further described in Workflow Configuration[hide]8.2[/hide].
The following illustration shows an example of a simple Batch workflow:

Workflows that are conceptually related can be grouped together. This enables the setting of common execution or monitoring characteristics on all elements in a group, such as execution scheduling for Workflow Groups or selection of execution environment for Workflows and Workflow Groups. See Workflow Configuration[hide]8.2[/hide] for more information.
Workflow and Workflow Group functions include, among other things:
