Nimekuwa utaratibu wa maisha yangu kidogo na kupatikana muda wa kuwasilisha makala kwa www.endusersharepoint.com. My latest article is up here: Kutumia Orodha Desturi kwa Ukaguzi wa Ufanisi Zaidi Workflow (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1658).

Hii ni graph ufunguzi ':

SharePoint Designer workflow doesn’t give us a lot of visibility into what’s happening with our workflow solutions. Na, kujulikana kwamba sisi kufanya kupata inakwamishwa na interface duni kiasi na 60 day time window. Hii 60 day window can be a major disappointment to new SharePoint Designer users because it’s not advertised by the tool itself. It’s not at all uncommon for someone to fire up SharePoint Designer, kujenga ufumbuzi workflow kwamba leverages "Fungua Ili Historia Orodha" hatua ...

Tatizo ni kwamba baada ya 60 siku, ujumbe wowote kwamba kujenga njia hii ni ilifutwa kutoka kwenye orodha workflow historia! After a bit of teeth gnashing and “what were they thinking?"Hoja, line ya chini ni hii: it happens and it needs to happen. Swali ni, how can we get around it?

The official answer is to rely upon SharePoint’s built-in auditing feature. From an end user’s point of view, hata hivyo, that’s very weak in WSS and not much better in MOSS. Fortunately, we can still leverage the familiar SharePoint Designer tool to create a durable workflow history and audit trail which is an order of magnitude more useful to boot. Here’s how.

I describe how to create a more friendly and useful audit solution for declarative workflow created in SPD.

I was inspired to write this article from a recent project for a client that had developed nine technical SPD workflows in support of one logical business process. Assuming for now that nine is a reasonable number, it was certainly a challenge to debug it or view the overall status of the process in one simple view. Each of these separate technical workflows has its own independent workflow history list and that’s just not manageable. I was able to combine all of them into a single audit list using the technique I describe on the site.

Kuangalia ni nje.
