Building a General System service

Use General System services when you want to orchestrate other background services, manipulate variable data, generate HTML for a Coach, or perform some other actions that do not require any integrations or business rules.

General system services are likely to be called directly from a BPD or from a Human Service. General System services can include only basic service components, such as scripts, and cannot contain Coaches or integration steps (Web Service integration, Java integration, or Content integration). General System services can be nested within any other type of service.

You can create a General System service as described in "Creating a service".
