• copying a workflow between databases

    By Paul Davies 2 decades ago

    Hi - I am trying to evaluate QENOS - it looks great but I have one issue and big question.



    after adding the workflow subform to my custom form, I get this error when opening documents based on that form…



    'Error processing use list module: (Globals)QenosWF'



    I have recompiled all LS, but the error remains.



    Also - how will I be able to copy the workflow from my test database to my live database?



    TIA

    Paul

    • just the subform?

      Paul, you need to copy all design elements that begin with _QAF not just the subform.

      • all objects are in the database

        Hi Mark



        QAF was deployed to the database as per the instructions, and the workflow subform embedded to my custom form. i.e. all the qaf_ objects were in place.



        Regards

        Paul

          Hi Paul,



          Download the latest release (out today). Recompile the sample application and see if you get any errors. If not then we can rule out any problems with your client/ client version. If it works, I suggest you just strip out the views/forms related to the sample and use the database as a template.



          Re: your other question, QAF becomes just a part of your database so you transport design into other environments (eg Production) like you do any other database.

          • workflow rules

            By Paul Davies 2 decades ago

            woudl that transfer all the workflow rules too?

            • no...

              By Mark Demicoli 2 decades ago

              my apologies, the workflow rules that you define are contained in the workflow documents. You need to copy all the workflow documents. The best way to do this is to select all from the All view in the Qenos Designer.



              It is therefore possible to change the workflow logic without needing to refresh any design.

              • Workflow view is missing from version 19/Aug/08

                the Workflow view which lists all workflow documents is missing from the latest version, but is available in version 1.1 so I have copied it from there
