Workflow Soluiton

We have a workflow with an application form, which will start another workflow (not embedded) and to pass some data to the new workflow. Is there a component or a solution?

Thanks for your replies

Can you deploy the workflow as a webservice, then call the Execute method of the webservice by a generated webservice component?

Thanks for your reply.

I must honestly confess, I have no idea what your response means

Unfortunately we got only a basic education. Anything else we need to teach ourselves

1. Deploy your workflow as a webservice. (Workflow Type should be Webservice under Publishing in Project Properties)

2. Run the webservice generator. To do this you can either click the New Integration Library button when a workflow is open, or select Integration library when doing a New project from Workflow Manager - either option goes to the same place. Pick the Web Service generator option.

In the generator, use the URL of the deployed workflow (http://<SERVERNAME>/WorkflowProject1/MyService.asmx, for example) to generate components. Keeping all the defaults is fine. You should be able to generate a component against the Execute method of the webservice.

3. Now that you have an Execute component, you can drop it to any project you want and invoke the workflow as you please.

I'm assuming the webservice takes a Name parameter. Your flow would basically look like this:

Start - Form Builder - generated Web Service component - End

Your form builder would have a textbox that accepts input. You can specify that input, the Output Data, as "def".

Next, in your generated web service component, you would specify the "def" Process Variable as the Name input parameter.

Hope this helps.

Add Input Data to primary model then publish the project again and repeat the process of generation webservice caller components. New components should have input parameters exactly the same like those defined in project.

Here is my simple Example Workflow:

On the Formbuilder we have only a Textbox, the outputname is: v_eingabe

From the executive Component we start a simple Mail Send:

We want to see the text from : "v_eingabe" in the body of the Email

I don't understand what you mean with "def"

Ok, it works with one Variable.

I was able to pass "one" variable to the execute component.

But when i want to pass more than one i got this Failure/Warning:

When i use "Yes"  and select more than one variable the workflow doesn't run

In the popup above, click the Process Variable radio button.

Clear all the values under Value from Process Variables by striping the values and clicking the Remove button.

Now that it's clear, click the add button and browse to the element on the stream. The message above should go away. You get this message when you specify more than one value for an element that's only expecting one.

This doesn' work i always get this message. I think i have made an error in the "defs". Is this maybe possible ?

In the Execution Component i can also select one variable. (or i make something wrong)

I attached my integration library, so you can maybe take a look at it.

I hope you know what i want.

A Form for enter Text in different text fields (to / subject/ body etc...) and this should pass to the Send Email Component

That integration component references a local server I can't access. Can you confirm that the web service takes a single string for a parameter, and not an array?

Ok, here are my steps i do in the Library:

I'm pretty sure this input is not an array, so this is just a simple issue I can't see. Would it be possible for you to attach ypour package as a .zip to this thread? I can fix and repackage to thread once I have it fixed.

Ok here it is:

I got a message that my version is newer thay yours. By downgrading i got severals Error.

Can you show me the sites where i have to check ?

I'm on a trunk build... OK, I've added a step-by-step guide with pics to hooking up the parameter. I'll attach it as well as display the steps here:

1.       In the component editor, click the ... button by v_betreff

2.       Select Process Variable and click the Add button.

3.       Stripe v_betreff and click OK.

4.       Click OK again to close the dialog... you’ve now hooked up the parameter
