NEW MAJOR FEATURE IN PIMICS 13.0 - PIPELINE/WORKFLOW SYSTEM:
A comprehensive Pipeline/Workflow system has been introduced. This requires NEW technical documentation:
Core Documentation Needed:
Architecture Overview
- Pipeline module structure and components
- Process Engine architecture
- How pipelines integrate with PIM entities (items, publications, etc.)
- Event-driven vs. scheduled execution models
Developer Guide - Custom Actions
- How to develop custom action types
- Action framework API reference
- Action parameter definitions
- Integration with existing Pimics events
- Code samples for common custom actions
Configuration Reference
- Pipeline designer technical specifications
- Stage configuration options
- Action library structure
- Process execution flow
Integration Guide
- How to trigger pipelines from code
- Pipeline status tracking on entities
- Event triggers and their parameters
- Scheduling capabilities and configuration
Extensibility Documentation
- Extension points for pipelines
- Custom validators, transformations, notifications
- Integration with external systems via pipeline actions
Database Schema
- New tables for pipelines, processes, stages, actions
- Pipeline status fields added to existing entity tables
- Archive/audit trail for pipeline executions
API Reference
- Pipeline management APIs (if exposed)
- Query pipeline status programmatically
- Trigger pipeline execution via API
Security & Permissions
- Pipeline execution permissions model
- Who can create/modify/execute pipelines
- Action-level security considerations
Action required:
- Create dedicated "Pipeline/Workflow" section in tech documentation
- Develop comprehensive API reference for action framework
- Provide code samples and templates for common scenarios
- Document best practices for performance and error handling
- Create troubleshooting guide for pipeline issues
