Microsoft Workflow Foundation 4
- 1. Mohammed AlSolh & Hassan AlNajjar Supervised By: Dr.Khaled ElFakih introducing Microsoft Workflow Foundation 4 & SCP Implementation
- 3. WF4 Introduction Less coding, more outcome
- 4. What is a workflow? • A workflow is a set of activities that are organized into a process that coordinates people and/or software. • The Activity is the unit of execution, encapsulation and reuse within the workflow framework. • Out of the box you can create Sequential Workflows, State Machine Workflows, Flow Chart Workflow.
- 5. Microsoft Workflow Foundation 4 & SCP Implementation Why Workflows? WF can be used in a variety of scenarios: • Document review processes. • Automated system processes. • Help desk ticket management systems. • Business processes tracking, such as HR compliance systems. • Page or application flow. Think about the process used when you purchase something online.
- 6. Microsoft Workflow Foundation 4 & SCP Implementation Why Workflows? Workflows can • Be long running AND stateful. • Increase your developer productivity as what they are assembling looks exactly like the process being modeled. • Provide transparency into a process.
- 7. What is a workflow? Visual Designer Key Concepts An Activity • Workflows are a set of Activities • Workflows run within a Host Process: any application or server • Developers can build their own Custom Activity Libraries Custom Activity Library Components Windows Workflow Foundation • Base Activity Library: Out-of-box A Workflow Base Activity Library Runtime Engine Runtime Services Host Process activities and base for custom activities • Runtime Engine: Workflow execution and state management • Runtime Services: Hosting flexibility and communication • Visual Designer: Graphical and codebased construction
