Business Process flow with code

Posted on by Lax

How can I create Bussiness Process flow with code. I can create workflow(ondemand/realtime ) with Xaml and below code.

Category = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowCategory.Workflow),
PrimaryEntity = Opportunity.EntityLogicalName,
Mode = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowMode.Background),

    // Additional settings from the second New Process form.
    Description = @"When an opportunity is created, this workflow" +
        " sets the closeprobability field of the opportunity record to 40%.",
    OnDemand = false,
    Subprocess = false,
    Scope = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowScope.User),
    TriggerOnCreate = true,
    AsyncAutoDelete = true,
    Xaml = xamlWF,

I changed category as new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowCategory.BusinessProcessFlow) but no luck struck with an error

Message: An unexpected error occurred.

Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

I haven't done that before. As I mentioned earlier - it's up to you to find and fix the issue.

Good luck.

Hi a33ik ,

I tried with serviceClient.Execute(workflow) & serviceClient.Create(workflow) , also getting this error[Error generating UiData for workflow:testprocess, id:b335dccb-437d-ed11-81ac-6045bd0061eb]

Kind regards,

hi a33ik

I have generated Early Bound class but I am getting this error[cannot convert from earlybound.workflow to Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.organizationRequest]

can you please advise

if (serviceClient.IsReady)
{
Workflow workflow = new Workflow();
// these properties map to the new process form settings in the web application.
workflow.Name = "testprocess";
workflow.Type = new OptionSetValue((int)workflow_type.Definition);
workflow.Category = new OptionSetValue((int)workflow_category.BusinessProcessFlow);
workflow.PrimaryEntity = "new_bankaccount";
workflow.Mode = new OptionSetValue((int)workflow_mode.Realtime);
// additional settings from the second new process form.
workflow.Description = @"it is a sample of bpf creation through c#.";
workflow.OnDemand = false;
workflow.Subprocess = false;
workflow.Scope = new OptionSetValue((int)workflow_scope.Organization);
//triggeroncreate = true,
//asyncautodelete = true,
workflow.Xaml = "xamlwf";
workflow.LanguageCode = 1033; // u.s. english
serviceClient.Execute(workflow);

// serviceClient.Create(workflow);

}

Satheesh, that's called "Early Bound" - learn.microsoft.com/.../early-bound-programming

Here is a KB that describes on how to generate those classes - learn.microsoft.com/.../generate-early-bound-classes

Good luck.

Workflow workflow = new Workflow()
{
// These properties map to the New Process form settings in the web application.
Name = "Business Process Flow for new_test",
Type = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowTypeEnum.Definition),
Category = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowCategoryEnum.BusinessProcessFlow),
PrimaryEntity = nameoftheEntityBPFtobeCreatedfor,
Mode = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowModeEnum.Realtime),

// Additional settings from the second New Process form.
Description = @"it is a sample of BPF creation through C#.",
OnDemand = false,
Subprocess = false,
Scope = new OptionSetValue((int)WorkflowScopeEnum.Organization),
//TriggerOnCreate = true,
//AsyncAutoDelete = true,
Xaml = xamlWF,

// Other properties not in the web forms.
LanguageCode = 1033, // U.S. English
};

it works

good luck.
