Abstract: Processing user-triggered, broker-assisted workflows. A content management system is configured to host a hierarchy of content objects that are partitioned into two or more user contexts. A first workflow object is configured and then stored into a first one of the two or more user contexts. A computer-implemented service agent is configured to receive a workflow trigger from an event raised in a second one of the two or more user contexts. The computer-implemented service agent executes in the second one of the two or more user contexts while processing the first workflow object using permissions that are associated with the first one of the two or more user contexts. The computer-implemented service agent processes the workflow object in the context of the first one of the two or more user contexts. Results from execution of the workflow objects are provided to the process that raised the workflow trigger.

Abstract: A shared workflow operates over a plurality of execution environments associated with a content management system. A shared workflow is created in a first execution environment. The workflow is posted to a shared location. A particular workflow is selected from an exchange or other shared location and is thereafter configured to execute in a second execution environment. A computing module analyzes the workflow to identify environment-specific parameters. Based on a computer-generated recommendation emerging from the analysis, a user or a computing agent modifies the environment-specific parameter so as to configure the workflow prior to execution in the second execution environment. The first execution environment may correspond to a first department of an enterprise and the second execution environment may correspond to a second department of the same enterprise. Alternatively, the first execution environment may correspond to a first enterprise and the second execution environment may correspond to a second enterprise.
