Import the Workflow from Workflow Definition Xml

AVEVA Work Tasks provides a feature to import the workflow from the definition XML in the Process Designer. This can also be done using the AVEVA Work Tasks APIs programmatically. The following code sample demonstrates how to import the workflow.

PROCEDURE

Dll REFERENCE

Workflow.Net.NET2

Skelta.Forms.Core

NAMESPACE USED

Workflow.NET

Skelta.Repository.List

Skelta.Forms.Core.Controls

Try the following code in a console application by adding the above references and name spaces:

//Namespaces

using Skelta.Repository.List;

using Skelta.Forms.Core.Controls;

using Workflow.NET;

//Class level Variables

//Repository Name

string _applicationName = "MyRepo1";

//This value is fixed for workflow lists

string _listName = "Workflow";

ListDefinition _listDef = ListDefinition.GetList(new Skelta.Core.ApplicationObject(_applicationName), _listName);

//specify path of exported workflow Xml file.

string strData = System.IO.File.ReadAllText (@"M:\SkeltaDev3.0\xml.xml");

//Id of ListItem to import the workflow

//This id is obtained from the table SKEWorkflow, value of the column Id corresponding to your

//repository name(Application) and workflow (Title).

Guid gid = new Guid("65caf315-889e-4c46-b8d4-ea9b0e09013b");

Skelta.Repository.List.ListItem ListItemForImport = new Skelta.Repository.List.ListItem(_listDef, gid);

ListTableForm listTableForm1 = ((ListTableForm) ListItemForImport.ListForm.Records[0].FindControlByID("_sys_wfdef_form"));

string fileName = (string)((ListTextDataItem)listTableForm1.Records[0].FindControlByID("_sys_wfdef_filename")).Value;

string workflowname = ListItemForImport.Title;

Workflow.NET.Interfaces.IDataHandler DBHandler = null;

Config ConfigObj = new Config(_applicationName);

Workflow.NET.Storage.Staging stg = new Workflow.NET.Storage.Staging(DBHandler);

stg.Update("MyRepo1", workflowname, fileName, strData);

ListItemForImport.LoggedInUserId = "skeltalist::1AA9AA25-92F8-4635-839B-CB029EB95B2F";

// If the provider is Active Directory the format is  "activedirectory::user id"

//1AA9AA25-92F8-4635-839B-CB029EB95B2F is userguid of the user admin in skelta list

//setting logged-In userid is mandatory

ListItemForImport.ChangeStatusAndUpdate(ListItemVersionStatus.Published);
