Business Process workflow

Posted on by Lax

I have created a new Business Process flow and exported to a solution and downloaded xaml from workflow folder.

I am trying to create BPF with code with below code but encountered with an error "An unexpected error occured". If I see inner details error shows as  "the given key was not present in the dictionary".

Workflow workflow = new Workflow()

{

// These properties map to the New Process form settings in the web application.

Name = "CountryApprovalworkflow12",

Category = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowCategory.BusinessProcessFlow),

BusinessProcessType = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowBusinessProcessType.BusinessFlow),

PrimaryEntity = _countryEntityName,

Xaml = xamlWF,

};

_workflowId = _serviceProxy.Create(workflow);

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks,

    Hi Lax,

    As Andrew mention, no one create BPF like you are creating.

    You can explore more about BPF with the below link :

    Hello,

    There are many ways to move solution between environment without writing single line of code:

    1. Export solution from source CRM and import it to Destination.

    2. XrmToolbox + SolutionTransfer tool - www.xrmtoolbox.com/.../DamSim.SolutionTransferTool

    3. XrmCI Framework - github.com/.../xrm-ci-framework

    My suggestion - don't waste your time trying to create something that's doesn't have practical sense. Believe me, I know CRM a bit :)

    I thought we can deploy/move the solution from one environment to another environment very easily with out duplicating the work.

    Followed the below sample for workflows which is working fine but not for BPF.

    Hello,

    I'm just curious - why do you need that? What is not enough in creation of BPF from UI? I don't know any developer/consultant who created Business Process Flows in this way.
