Activate the Consumer Type

Each application that uses the proxy API for SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Integration registers itself as a consumer type within the proxy framework.

Context

The consumer type determines the destination the proxy uses to process the requests of the application to, for example, start or cancel workflow instances of the workflow service. You must activate the consumer type on each client, where it is supposed to be used.
