Installing Workflow Instances

You can install a Workflow instance directly from its Properties screen, using the Install button, or in its Work Area (see Installing a Work Area and Its Objects).

When you install a Workflow instance using the Install button on its Properties screen:

• The system checks in the Workflow instance and definition, and also the Table instances in the current Work Area to which the instance is mapped.

• The system checks if the Workflow is installable. If not, the system performs Automatic Mapping by Name on any unmapped target Table Descriptors. If the Workflow is still not installable and there are still unmapped target Table Descriptors, the system creates Table instances in the current Work Area from the target Table Descriptors and maps them.

• The system attempts to install the Workflow instance and its source and target Table instances in the current Work Area. The system displays a success or error message. If the installation fails, the error message displays the name of any objects that were not installable.

Note:

If any of the Table instances or the Workflow definition is not installable, the system cannot install the Workflow instance. See Installation Requirements for Each Object Type for the reasons these objects may not be installable.
