I've been working with some ExternalDataExchange - based communication in WF recently. My understanding is that when working with a long-running (in this case, a State Machine) workflows, communication is queued, durable, and transactional. I'm using SQL Persistence and a EventArgs that is marked as "WaitForIdle = true". I would assum...
I don't want to add schema.rb to .gitignore, because I want to be able to load a new database schema from that file. However, keeping it checked in is causing all sorts of spurious conflicts that are easily resolved by a fresh db:migrate:reset. Basically I want a way to: Keep schema.rb in the repository for deploy-time database setup...
I've got a WSS 3.0 "project" site with all my workflows working properly. I want an easy way to clone this site, there will be one per project, so it has to be something the empowered end user can do (stsadm export won't work for him). I save the site, with content, as a template, then create a new site from the template. This new site...

(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/357032/how-to-upgrade-a-long-running-sharepoint-workflow-already-in-production) The answer, which matches up with the other research I have done on this topic...
Hey People, I have a question and hopefully you can steer me in the right direction. I'm working on an application that needs some form of decision tree/work flow for lack of a better term. I'll describe it below for some clarity. I have a request form that users will fill out on a web page. At the beginning of the form is a 'Referral...
Hi all, On UNIX, I have to produce numeric results out of previous data by means of various command-line utilities. These utilities read the starting data (in general, but not only, from csv files), perform computations, and write the data (again, in general, but not only, to csv files). Of course, I don't want to run the risk to have ...
I am making a sharepoint state machine workflow. The first state has a "create task with content type" as the task. The content type has a field called "isApproved". I am not using any infopath forms. I am trying to get the value o fthat field to evaluate if the document is approved or not. No matter what I do I am getting "object not se...
I'm writing a workflow that needs to perform certain actions depending on which fields are changed when someone edit's an item. For example, if a user goes in and removes a role (job) from an item (staff member) then I need the workflow to realise that the role field was changed, deduce which role was removed (or potentially added) and t...
What Java alternatives are there to Windows Workflow Foundation? I am looking for something that provides at least the same features that WWF does, and has the same flexibility and relative ease of use. I would very much prefer a free solution. ...

The default FORK handler in jbpm creates concurrent execution paths for every transition defined in the process flow (in FORK node). However, they are not executed parallel fashion. Is it possible to write custom fork handlers, which starts separate thread for running every FORK-JOIN branch. This might allow true concurrent execution v...
Hey guys! I'm working on a new software project, and the company I work for uses macs, so I don't have access to Visio. Is there any good flowchart software for OSX? The topic seems to be pretty popular on the mac forums, but with almost no good answers (most seem to end up at MS Word's flowcharts). So what do you think? Best flowch...
I've read somewhere (I dont recall exactly where) that Git (and probably any other good DCVS) is an excellent tool when you're translating some text. I'm trying to figure out a workflow for this scenario, and the best I could get was something like: Use your own branch. Translate files as usual, commit as needed. When there are change...

Any recommendations for software to allow users to edit a workflow representing a business process? Ideally .NET, but any technology (winform / asp.net / wpf / etc) would do. I would need to be able to initialize / investigate the layout through code to map it to my system - either via an object model or a file in a known format. I've ...
