import arcpy
#Establish a connection to a Workflow database
conn = arcpy.wmx.Connect(r'c:\test\Workflow.jtc')
#Access a Job
job = conn.getJob(99999)
#Access a the job's workflow
workflow = job.getWorkflow()
#Access the first step in the workflow
step = workflow.steps[0]

#Access the first path and print the ID of the step it leads to
path = paths[0]
print('The ID of the step that follows the first step is ' + path.toStep)
