Workflow Composer

The Workflow Composer installation requires the following:

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

  Note: Azure Application Service deployment requires APIs to be deployed over secure HTTP (HTTPS) with TLS 1.2. Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance also requires TLS 1.2. If the caller of these APIs does not have TLS 1.2 support, calls to APIs will fail. Applications using .NET Framework 4.5 support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2, but it is not the default Security Protocol Type. The code for Workflow Composer 2.6 and the Service Module Host was updated to make TLS 1.2 the default Security Protocol Type.

Installation Manager is used to retrieve the installer for Workflow Composer. After retrieving the installer, users can run the .exe directly or copy and distribute it to other users within their organization.

Note: The login credentials (user name and password) specified during the installation of Workflow Composer must have Insert and Update permissions for the following database tables:

• WorkflowDefinition
• WorkflowDefinitionVersion

A single instance of Workflow Composer can be used to work with CampusNexus Student and CampusNexus CRM.
