I am interested in learning some BPM software. One of such software is ProcessMaker. But the problem with this is that it is lacking of documentation. My question here is that what about Workflow foundation? Does it allow one to configure a workflow process without writing code? And overall, is it easier to learn that ProcessMaker? ...

I have a following code: SPWorkflowTask task = some_getter(); task["Status"] = "Canceled"; task.Update(); and I am getting SPException: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: "This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited." at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.Prepa...
Hi, I have been using JBPM workflow in my project and I have a small question regarding generating the database patches or sql statements to apply JBPM workflow modifications. Currently JBPM workflow provides a way to refresh the jbpm tables in schema with the deployment of the latest process definitions. However what if my system is ...
After some point wokflows on Sharepoint MOSS 2007 System stopped functioning. They do not start, their status allways remains in 'Starting' state. The issue remains for a declarative workflow. And even if we try to run workflow manually. Issue resolved temporary by restarting owstimer service, but after about 5 minutes it again stops fun...
I want to write a workflow application that routes a link to a document. The routing is based upon machines not users because I don't know who will ever be at a given post. For example, I have a form. It is initially filled out in location A. I now want it to go to location B and have them fill out the rest. Finally, it goes to loca...
I'm currently creating (in Visual Studio) a simple approval workflow within SharePoint so that I can execute some custom code once the user has approved an item. However, it seems that when I don't specify an approval form to use, SharePoint just selects a default one with a "Complete Task" button, but no "Reject" button. Is there some ...
I'm the sole developer for an academic consortium headquartered at a university in the northeast. All of my development work involves internal tools, mostly in Java, so nothing that is released to the public. Right now, I feel like my development workflow is very "hobbyist" and is nothing like you would see at an experienced software dev...
Our workflow in Workflow Foundation used to call ASMX web services using the InvokeWebService activity, which has a property SessionId to correlate multiple activities in the same session (by sending the ASP.NET session cookie on every request). It worked. Now we have switched to WCF web service interface, and we have changed our workfl...
Hello! I am trying to use Windows Workflow and have a model that looks similar to the image in the link below: Workflow screen shot After each of the Send Activities (GetSomthing, GetSomthingElse, GetSomeMoreStuff) the same custom acitvity is being called (LogSomthingBadHappened). Whilst it might not look so bad in this picture in my re...
I'm thinking about a good workflow for php/mysql web-development. Anybody got some tips? ...
I am writing a custom Windows Workflow Foundation activity, that starts some process asynchronously, and then should wake up when an async event arrives. All the samples I’ve found (e.g. this one by Kirk Evans) involve a custom workflow service, that does most of the work, and then posts an event to the activity-created queue. The main...
Hi All, I have a simple custom activity with a private member variable (integer). When i put it inside a sequence activity which is inside a while activity and start iterating i have a problem: My member variable is zeroed in each iteration even though i increment it by one every time the activity is executed. What am i doing wrong? ...
I am looking for a Java Rules / Workflow engine. Something similar to Microsoft Workflow Engine. Can someone recommend a product? ...
I'm in the process of designing a system that will allow me to represent broad-scope tasks as workflows, which expose their workitems via an IEnumerable method. The intention here is to use C#'s 'yield' mechanism to allow me to write psuedo-procedural code that the workflow execution system can execute as it sees fit. For example, say I...
I have a fairly straight-forward sequential approval workflow that has an EnableModificationActivity that is in scope for just about the entirety of the workflow. My modification form is an ASPX page that gives the user the ability to enable/disable approval steps that have not occurred yet in the workflow. Since the workflow is able t...

I develop a SharePoint workflow with a Replicator activity to replicate a custom activity for every approver. The custom activity implements an approval branch for a particular user. It has classic form with CreateTask, While, OnTaskChanged and CompleteTask activities. I setup UntilCondition on the replicator to cancel execution after o...
Can WWF handle high throughput scenarios where several dozen records are 'actively' being processed in parallel at any one time? We want to build a workflow process which handles a few thousand records per hour. Each record takes up to a minute to process, because it makes external web service calls. We are testing Windows Workflow Fou...
I have a SharePoint (WSS 3.0, VS 2005) workflow that has a workflow modification form attached to it, which I would like to disable after a certain time and continue with the parameters from the association form. What's the best way to move past the 'onWorkflowModified' activity if the timer is up? It seems that the only way to listen f...
