| | i try to create new work flows: i following these steps: - Drag the Process Designer control from the Toolbox onto the Web Form’s Designer surface.
- In the Properties area, enter the new application name in the ApplicationName property field.
- Next, enter the new workflow name in the WorkflowName property field.
- Browse to the Web Form in which the Process Designer control is embedded.
This displays the Process Designer screen. - In the Process Designer screen, add the content and variables to the Start activity of the workflow. These will be visible in the content and variables collection for the other activities.
- Select the Human Activities option in the Skelta activities to open the corresponding group.
- From the Human Activities group, click on the activities to be added to the workflow process. The icon corresponding to the activity is displayed on the Design Mosaic. For example, you can click on the Approval option. This will display the Approvaln icon in addition to the Start icon (where n is the Approval number) e.g. Approval1.
Note By default the Process Designer screen shows the Start activity icon on the Design Mosaic. - Click on the Approval1 activity and drag the connector line to the Start activity and click on it to link the two activities.
- Select the Approval1 activity and set the properties in the corresponding fields in the Properties area.
- Click Save to save the newly entered properties.
For details on setting the properties for different activities refer to the corresponding topic under Using Skelta BPM.NET 2007 Activities. - Repeat steps 6 to 10 to add more activities as needed.
- Click the Deploy button in the Tool bar to save and deploy the newly created workflow to the Deployment area.
Note Newly created workflows are automatically saved in the Staging area of the Process Designer. To execute the workflow and make it available for other applications you must deploy it to the Deployment area. - Now click on the Start („) button in the Web Form toolbar or press <F5> to run the application

| Hi Saravanan, You are getting this error because it couldn’t find the Application entry in “WorkflowNET.Config.Xml” file. You missed one step: You need to make one Application entry in “C:\Program Files\Skelta\Workflow.NET\WorkflowNET.Config.Xml”. Hope you have created a database to store workflow related information. <application name="DemoInfyCH"> <datasource type="sql server">Data Source=SKELTANB50;Initial Catalog=SkeltaR2Demo;Persist Security Info=False;</datasource> <server source="localhost" port="8755" loadbalanced="False"/> <sourceelements>WorkflowElements\Default</sourceelements> <virtualdirectorypath>/WorkflowElements/Default</virtualdirectorypath> <fromemail>admin@domain.com</fromemail> <exceptionemail alertsubmittedby="false">admin@domain.com</exceptionemail> <resourcehandler name="SampleResourceDB" assembly="bin\XmlResourceHandler.dll" class="ResourceHandler.XMLResource" param="ResourceHandler.xml"/> <businesshoursdetails class="Workflow.NET.Calendar.BusinessHoursInterface" assembly="bin\Workflow.NET.Calendar.dll"/> <documentwebviewcontrol class="Workflow.NET.Web.ActivityDocumentDetails.DocumentDetailsControl" assembly="Bin\Workflow.NET.Web.ActivityDocumentDetails.dll" param=""/> <workflow name="LeaveWF"> <sourceelements>WorkflowElements\InfyCHD</sourceelements> <virtualdirectorypath>/WorkflowElements/Default</virtualdirectorypath> </workflow> </application>

| Hi,
In BPM.NET 2007 the application tag configuration in workflow config is required only for running the BPM.NET 2006 version workflows in BPM.NET 2007 in backward compatible mode. In BPM.NET 2007 you need to create a data source and repository(application name) before using the process designer and executing workflows.
GoTo : Start -> All Programs -> Skelta -> Skelta Central Configuration.
Create a data source for the repository tables.
Create a respository and map the data source.
Note: Repository is sometimes referred as Application Name
Descriptions for the doubts you had :
3) Next, enter the new workflow name in the WorkflowName property field.
After you drag and drop Process designer control you have to set the workflow name property. This value can be any string value (e.g: wf, workflow1, LeaveWorkflow). A workflow name uniquely identifies the worklfow under a respository.The workflow name is required when you want to execute a workflow at runtime.
4) Browse to the Web Form in which the Process Designer control is embedded.
After application name (repository) and workflow name is set right click and open the aspx page in Browser. This will open the process designer UI where you can design your workflows.
5) In the Process Designer screen, add the content and variables to the Start activity of the workflow. These will be visible in the content and variables collection for the other activities.
Contents and Variables can be used to pass application data to the workflow instance at runtime. (e.g for leave application you might want the From date and To date of Leave submission to be available in workflow).
regards,
