Hey guys.
What's the best way for me to access data on another SQL server for use in workflow?
Basic situation: We use a custom application to maintain manager heirarchy information (associates' managers aren't reliably accurate or present in Active Directory). A user's manager is one of the columns in a simple SQL database on another server.
In a process I'm developing, I need the second activity in the workflow to have a destination of the submitter's manager. I can get the submitter information by using Process Originator data...
But how can I set up a SmartObject that reads from a simple SQL database? Am I going to need to write my own service? It seems like reading from a SQL table should be something that people have to do pretty commonly. I checked around the site but I can't seem to find something that fits what I need... though I may just be looking past something that's right in front of my face...
Best route to take here?
Thanks.
