Creating Workflows

1. Code workflow

 //1. Define a class that implements the IDataExchangeWorkflow interface from the Exchange.Contracts assembly
 public class MyCodeWorkflow : IDataExchangeWorkflow
 {
 //the run function is the entry point for DES
 public string Run(ExchangeRequest request)
 {
 //TODO: magic
 return result;
 }
 }

2. XAML workflow

//1. Set the path of the XAML workflow to invoke.
string workflowFilePath = @"..\..\..\WorkflowLib\Training\TestWorkflow.xaml";
//2. Optionally add any parameters required by the workflow
var exchangeParams = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
 { "NAME", "Max" }
};
//3. Call ExecWorkflow or ExecWorkflowInDES if connected to a DES database.
//var response = WorkflowUtil.ExecWorkflowInDES(workflowFilePath, exchangeParams);
WorkflowUtil.ExecWorkflow(workflowFilePath, exchangeParams);
