Reference workflow activity -- how to define the child workflow uri

Permanently deleted user

I have parent and child workflows in the same folder.  I do not want to use the full file path for child uri, e.g. C:\\folder\\workflow.xaml, since the workflows have to be published from dev to test to prod servers.  I tried this: "gcxfile:///WorkFlow/workflow.xaml and got "unable to load activity" error.    I'd like to know how to use gcxfile format to reference a child workflow.

 

thanks.

  Hi Yinghong,

   

  When you are using the Reference Workflow activity, you will need to go into the child workflow and save it every time you make a change to the parent (this includes pushing the site and workflows from dev to prod).  Rather than using the Reference workflow command, I suggest you use the Run External Command activity, and invoke the child workflow using the RunWorkflowById command.

   

  I hope this helps!

   

  Thanks,

   

  Danny

  my child workflow needs to get an input from parent and have output passed to the parent.  Can these be done using Run external command?

   

  thanks

  Ying,

   

  You don't need to use Run External Command.  In your ReferenceWorkflow activity, add any variables you want to pass to your child workflow in the 'Arguments' collection.  If your child workflow will send values back to the parent, choose "in/out" for the direction.

  In your child workflow you can reference the values passed in from the parent by creating arguments with the same names you gave the outputs from the parent.

  The values should be passed back to the parent when the child workflow exits.
