Defining and exporting integration workflow objects


When a workflow object integrates two deployable applications, for example, by using a Push Fields action to move data from a form in one deployable application to a form in the other, you can set the Integration Workflow: Application object property to mark the workflow object as integration workflow and indicate the integrated application.

When this property is set, the Export wizard can locate all workflow objects that integrate two applications and export only those workflow objects to an object definition file.

To set the Workflow Integration property for a shared workflow object

  1. Open the workflow object, such as an active link, for editing.
  2. In the Properties view, expand the Integration Workflow category.
  3. Click on the Value column for the Application property.
  4. Select the integrated application from the list, as shown in the following figure:

To export workflow objects defined as integration workflow

  1. In AR System Navigator, right-click the application name of the application that owns the workflow.
  2. Select Export Application.
  3. In the Application Selection dialog box, enter a path and file name for the definition file, and then click Next.
  4. In the Export Options dialog box, click Select Application in the Export Integration Workflows area.
  5. Select the integrated application from the list, as shown in the following figure:

  6. Click Finish.
    In this case, the definition file is an object definition file that contains definitions for the integration workflow objects only. To import the integration workflow, the integrated applications should already exist on the destination server. Use the Import > Object Definitions option to import the integration workflow objects.
