Changing Workflow Settings with SV Configurator

If you need to change system settings for Winshuttle Workflow you can use the SV Configurator tool to do so from the command line.

Important Notes: Workflow 10.8 (and later) users can perform most of these operations from the graphical user interface on the Configure Options page. By default, the SV Configurator is located in the \Workflow\Bin folder wherever Workflow is installed.

SV Configurator allows you to add, update, and remove system settings in Winshuttle Workflow. The scope of the settings in SV Configurator refers to where they are applied relative to a SharePoint object.

There are three types of settings:

• Global—options that apply at the global level (read from the sharevis.config file)
• Site—options that apply at the site level
• List—options that apply at the list level

For a more detailed list of settings and their descriptions, click the Help button in the SV Configurator window.
