Checklist: lifecycles

Step Reference
Become familiar with lifecycle concepts and how they apply to Content Engine objects. See Concepts: lifecycles.
Identify the actions you want taken on documents. Use the Content Engine Java™ API to code a document lifecycle action handler. See Creating a Lifecycle Action Handler.
Create an action and specify the lifecycle action handler coded in the previous step. See Create a lifecycle action.
Create a lifecycle policy. When creating a policy, you assign an action to the policy. See Create a lifecycle policy.
Assign a policy to a document class. See Assign the lifecycle policy to a document class.
Test the lifecycle policy on a test document. See Test a lifecycle policy assigned to a class.
If the test (performed in the previous step) finds errors, modify the lifecycle action and repeat the test. See Modify a lifecycle action.
