PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To describe the processing depending on the state of a cooperating business system in addition to a flow definition of a job, and to make the workflow system automatically select and execute a necessary means in response to the operation of a user to a workflow system. SOLUTION: When the user 101 requires control with respect to an item, an item state operating unit 1005 refers to an external system state definition table 2003 and an external system state managing table 2006, decides a processing means of a request to an external business system 103, and executes the processing by using an external system control unit 1007. Accordingly, the operation with respect to the workflow system can be executed regardless of the processing state of the job. It eliminates the need for directly describing a variety of error handling being unrelated to an original job in the workflow definition. |
