Automation Activities
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) allows developers to easily and quickly implement business rules and procedures through a unique process of drawing the application process. For more information about Windows Workflow Foundation, see the Workflow Foundation information on MSDN.
You must create automations to describe the business logic that drives the hosted applications. Automations are Windows Workflow Foundation assemblies and are executed in the Automation Manager. Automations can drive hosted applications, independent of their type, and can also drive non-hosted applications through custom adapters.
HAT includes a set of custom Windows Workflow activities that assist developers who want to implement and integrate Windows Workflow automations into their CCF Studio hosted applications. These activities are designed to simplify the implementation of new applications and the integration of legacy applications. If the included automation activities do not meet your development needs, you can extend them to fit your requirements.
The HAT Software Factory provides a set of WF activities to drive CCF Studio functions through Automations (WF workflows). The activities cover legacy CCF Studio action (DoAction and Context) and HAT function to drive applications hosted via DDAs. The activities are listed in the Workflow Tool window in section CCF Studio Activities.
