About component steps

Component step button A component step makes it possible to route work to operations in custom Java™ or Java Message Service (JMS) components. In the workflow, the component step connects to a component queue configured for one or more operations in the external component. You can place a component step on any workflow map.

NOTE   To use custom components, the workflow system administrator must use Process Configuration Console and Process Task Manager to configure the component queue for use in a workflow definition.

See About Component Integrator for an overview of components and an outline for implementation.
