Create Process Definition

Description

Adds a new process model (process definition) to AgilePoint Server.

Good to Know

• To call this method, the API account user must have the access right, Add a Process Model.
• The input parameter is a process model XML that is parsed to create a process model.
• If the process model count exceeds, the license limit for allowed process models and creation of process model fails.

Syntax

public virtual string CreateProcDef(string xml)

Parameters

Output

Unique ID of the process definition, which the AgilePoint system generates.

Example

IWFWorkflowService svc = GetWorkflowService();
string xml = …// Process definition XML as string

if( set release date )
	{
    WFProcessDefinition pd = new WFProcessDefinition();
    GraphicImage g = new GraphicImage();
    ProcDefXmlParser parser = new ProcDefXmlParser(new
    WFDefaultActivityInstantiator(), pd, g);
    parser.Parse(xml);
    pd.ReleaseDate = DateTime.Now; //Set release date
    ProcDefXmlWriter w = new ProcDefXmlWriter(pd, g);
    xml = w.WriteTostring();
    string procDefID = svc.CreateProcDef(xml);
	}

else // not to release process template
	{
    string procDefID = svc.CreateProcDef(xml);
	}
