The Business Process

Using WF in SharePoint 2007 & 2007 Office System

Development Steps  Model workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio  Create and bind Microsoft Office InfoPath forms  Deploy to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server  Debug the running workflow

Model & Building Workflows In Visual Studio 2005 Prerequisites: Office SharePoint Server 2007 Beta 2.NET 3.0 (WinFX) Runtime Components Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 2.2 Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Beta 2 of Microsoft Windows Vista 2007 Office System Starter Kit: Enterprise Content Management Starter Kit Create project of type “SharePoint Sequential Workflow Library” Create the workflow

Create and Bind InfoPath Forms Types of InfoPath forms in Workflows Association form User adds workflow to a list For setting options on WF Initiation form For manual workflow start Collects workflow parameters Task completion form A user to edit a task from WF User edits or enters data Modification form Linked off WF status page Can modify in-flight WF

Create and Bind InfoPath Forms InfoPath forms are used in these places

Hosting Environment Create and Bind InfoPath Forms SharePoint hosts the InfoPath form InfoPath Form Templates

Hosting Environment Create and Bind InfoPath Forms Data from SharePoint is passed in InfoPath Form Templates SharePoint object _________

Hosting Environment Create and Bind InfoPath Forms Submit the form, saves data to SharePoint InfoPath Form Templates SharePoint object _________

Hosting Environment Create and Bind InfoPath Forms SharePoint starts the workflow InfoPath Form Templates SharePoint object _________ SharePoint -> Task/WF Host

SharePoint Task instructions = “Please do this.” Task data as xml Create and Bind InfoPath Forms Pushing data from WF task into InfoPath InfoPath Task Form <z:row xmlns:z=“#RowSetSchema” ows_MetaInfo_instructions=“”/>

Deploy to SharePoint Server Generate Metadata files Feature.XMLWorkflow.XML Install/activate the “feature” IISReset Associate workflow to the list/library

Debug the Running Workflow Visual Studio running on server machine Open the workflow in Visual Studio Attach to all of the W3WP Processes Start the workflow

Building the Workflow

Call to Action WF plugs a large hole in the platform that used to be hard because it had to be built by hand WF provides a design time environment that makes it easy to build even the most complex workflows The 2007 Office system and SharePoint 2007 WF integration is fantastic; consequently, integrated solutions are easy to design and build
