Test the Workflow Sequence

Before you test the long running workflow sequence:

  • Make sure the Service Module Host service is running.

  • Navigate to the location of your log files for the Service Module Host. There should be one file with today’s date.

  1. Launch Anthology Student.

  2. Find a student.

  3. Open the student’s Activities folder.

  4. Navigate to View > Contact Manager > Activities.

  5. Add the activity WF - Approve Drop Course Request.

  6. Click Save.

CM Activity

Contact History

This will raise the Task Saved event and should kick off the long running workflow named Demo – How to use a long running workflow.

After you click Save, you can open your log file. It should have logged our all LogLine activities contained ion the workflow sequence.

 

  1. On the server running the workflow, navigate to Services\Nexus Event Notification Service 16.1\logs.

  2. Double-click the most recent log file.

    logs folder

  3. The log shows that two workflows were triggered by a Task Saved event:

    • The first workflow checks if it the Drop Course activity is added, saves the WorkflowInstanceId, and then goes to sleep.

    • The second workflow waits for the activity to close with a result.

    Because we added the activity and did not close it, the second workflow indicates that the condition is not met and stops.
