Description: This sample task demonstrates the use of sessions as well as ability to start all workflows that exist in a given site. A Get workflows activity is used to retrieve the workflows from a particular site and populates a dataset with results. The dataset is then looped. During each iteration, a Start workflow activity starts the next workflow on the list . In addition, each running workflow's instance ID is retrieved and written to a file for reporting or auditing purposes.
