Create Custom Workflow in ATG BCC

•    in ACC of BCC server, go to Workflow >> Publishing
•    Open common folderthat containd default workflow in it. Using UX of acc clock on new and create a new work flow as per your requirement and save it
•    You can find default workflow at below path
•    <<ATG_ROOT>>\Publishing\base\config\atg\registry\data\epubworkflows\Common.
•    After creating the work flow you have to register its ID with BCC UI. For this you have to overwrite “workflowActivitie.xml” and “merchandising.xml”. If you are using ATG 11.2 you have to use “contentmgmt.xml” instead of “merchandising.xml”
•    workflowActive.xml will have a default behavior explained in <<ATG_ROOT>>\DCS-UI\Versioned\config\config.jar
•    Also you can get default behavior of merchandising.xml in <<ATG_ROOT >>\DCS-UI\config\config.jar
•    contentmgmt.xml is defined under <<ATG_ROOT >>\ContentMgmt-UI\config\config.jar

•    To overwrite above mentioned two xml files create folder structure in config dir if folder structure is not there and create files with names specified.
        1.    /atg/commerce/web/workflowActivities.xml

        2.    /atg/remote/controlcenter/service/merchandising.xml

                            OR
            /atg/remote/controlcenter/service/contentmgmt.xml
          
•    Sample for the two xmls look like below.
