Expose as a service

Anonymous 11 years ago updated by anonymous 11 years ago 1
To use Warewolf, would we need to expose it as a service?
Answer

You can also call a workflow workflow from SQL.
See the Samples folder in the Warewolf install directory for an example of this.

Warewolf vs Windows Workflow Foundation

Anonymous 11 years ago updated by anonymous 11 years ago 0
I've had a look at Warewolf and it seems very similar to Windows Workflow Foundation.
What is the deifference?
Answer
anonymous 11 years ago
Warewolf is based on Windows Workflow Foundation (WF).
We re-host their designer, hence why it may appear similar.

Here is a quick summary of key differences : 

  • Provides wizard driven integration with Web services, Stored Procedures, and DLLs.
  • A custom language to move data around a workflow instead of the standard In/Out arguments.
  • Improve the way a user interacts with workflow tooling by providing adorers to expand a tool in-line to access enhanced functionality. This results in less clicking around.
  • Greatly expanded toolbox functionality. A lot of what you see we have custom built.
  • Simplified re-use. Via our explorer you can drag one workflow into another instantly accessing its functionality.
  • An easy to use visual debugging output, greatly enhancing the usability and maintainability of the workflows you create.
  • All workflows are exposed as web services for system integration purposes.
  • Integrates with Active Directory for security at a server or resource level.

Please help me over errors while installing Warewolf Software

Anonymous 11 years ago updated by anonymous 7 years ago 5
Hi There,
              I am unable to install warewolf. System is throwing this error " Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly.... and Installation Failed: FATAL ERROR during installation:   " while installing
Please assist
Thanks
installer
Answer

This is related to our VC++ 2008 SP1 x86 prerequisite.
Generally this should not cause an issue, but in cases where a previous install or system update did not complete VC++ can fail to install with Error 1935. 

Please reboot your machine and try installing VC++ 2008 SP1 x86 directly from this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=5582
Then try installing Warewolf again.

If the VC++ install fails here are a few references you can use to further troubleshoot the issue as it appears to be a general Windows problem.

How do I set the post request body of a web service on the design surface

anonymous 11 years ago updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 5
I created a source against my local couchdb install (http://localhost:5984)
I then created a web service as seen in the image below
Image 28

I then saved it and placed it on the design surface passing :

{"docs": [ {"_id": "my_doc", "number": 23}, {"_id": "_design/app", "updates": { "accumulate": "function (doc, req) { var inc_amount = parseInt(req.query.amount); doc.number = doc.number + inc_amount; return [doc, \"I incremented \" + doc._id + \" by \" + inc_amount]; }" } } ]}

into the postBody variable and executed it. I got an error message as seen in the image below.

How can I pass JSON data into the request and have it execute?
