Can BAW/BPM workflows be triggered from FileNet Content Manager when new documents are added via DataCap or manually?

Question

Hi all,

We want to scan documents using Datacap and save in FileNet Content Manager repository. BPM / BAW will be used for workflows. Can Workflow subscription be created for BAW like in FileNet BPM so that when new documents are created in Content Manager, workflows initiate in BAW?

Thanks,

Murad.

Yes you can create an Event Handler in Filenet to emit information from it to BPM when a certain event happens, and create an Event Subscription in BPM to listen to the event sent from Filenet.
