Human tasks
Human interaction is required for many business use cases that involve some kind
of approvals or actions from a person. One of the examples of human tasks is an
approval service or termination service. An approver gets notifications about pending
tasks from the human workflow, as shown in the next figure. The approver client can
take action based on the request. BPEL will process the request based on the input
from the approver client. The process may have to wait for the Human Task to com-
plete.
Human tasks have various specifications, such as task properties, people assign-
ments, taskowners, taskadministrators, timeouts, escalations andnotifications. Once
a BPEL service associated with a Human Task is invoked, a task is created and
assigned to a person or a group. Once the person finishes the task, the service is
marked as completed.
