Execute Advanced Workflow Action

(Requires the Advanced Workflow Engine module, available in EFT Server Enterprise.) Advanced Workflow Actions execute asynchronously, which means that EFT Server does not wait for a reply before returning control to the Event Rule thread, unless an "if failed" Action was specified, such as Stop Processing this Rule, in which case the Action waits for a return message indicating success or failure from the invoked process.

To add a Workflow to an Event Rule

  1. Create the Workflow.

  2. Create an Event Rule.

  3. In the Actions list, click Execute Advanced Workflow. The Action is added to the Rule.

  4. In the Rule Builder pane, click the Advanced Workflow link. The Advanced Workflow dialog box appears.

  5. The defined Workflows appear in alphabetical order in the Choose a workflow to execute list (at the top of the Advanced Workflow dialog box). Click the down arrow to select a Workflow. (You can also add custom parameters to pass to the Workflow.) The Advanced Workflow link in the Rule Builder pane updates with the name of the Workflow.

  6. Add other Actions as needed, then click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
