utilize the launch processes net web page to kick off the workflow agent ping/acknowledge workflow. this workflow consists of two processes, the grasp ping method as well as the detail ping approach. to ping all inbound agents, decide on the grasp ping method, and enter a unique item important. see: testing workflow definitions.
whenever you kick off the grasp ping method,
Microsoft Office Professional 2007, the workflow engine identifies all of the inbound agents that you simply have defined around the regional method or on exterior techniques and launches a detail ping process for each agent. the grasp approach then waits for each detail method to complete.
the detail ping process commences by sending a ping agent occasion to the inbound agent identified through the grasp method. the detail approach locations a ping agent occasion message on the queue related with an outbound agent around the nearby method. the occasion message is addressed to the inbound agent and contains a correlation id that identifies the detail procedure to which it belongs. aq propagation transmits the celebration concept in the outbound queue towards the queue associated using the specified inbound agent.
within the obtaining technique,
Office Enterprise 2007, the listener for your inbound agent dequeues the ping agent concept the subsequent time it runs. when the occasion message is dequeued,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, the function manager searches for and executes any active subscriptions to the ping agent function or the any event on that program which have a resource kind of external.
once the predefined exterior subscription towards the ping agent occasion is executed,
Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, its rule perform locations an acknowledge ping event concept on a queue linked with an outbound agent on that system. the celebration concept is addressed to an inbound agent around the originating system and includes the correlation id from your ping agent event concept. aq propagation transmits the acknowledge ping event concept from your outbound queue to your queue associated with the specified inbound agent.
around the originating technique, the listener for the inbound agent dequeues the acknowledge ping message the next time it runs. once the celebration concept is dequeued, the event supervisor searches for and executes any lively subscriptions to the acknowledge ping occasion or the any function on that program that have a supply kind of exterior.
once the predefined exterior subscription to your acknowledge ping event is executed, its rule function, which can be the default rule perform,
Windows 7 Home Premium, sends the function concept for the detail ping approach. the workflow engine utilizes the correlation id to match the concept with all the running detail approach to which it belongs. soon after obtaining the occasion message, the detail ping procedure completes.
finally, in any case the detail processes are complete, the master method also completes.
it is possible to utilize the workflow monitor to check out the progress of the workflow agent ping/acknowledge workflow. you can also utilize the function technique local queues page to verify the processing of the ping agent and acknowledge ping event messages. see: workflow monitor and reviewing neighborhood queues.
the quantity of time necessary to finish the workflow agent ping/acknowledge workflow depends on how often the listeners operate to dequeue messages in the inbound agents. see: scheduling listeners for local inbound agents.
