Creating and working with solutions

Workflow Solution Management provides you with an integrated authoring experience and ensures that your deployment of workflows, forms, and documents is streamlined from start to publication in your environment.

A Winshuttle Solution includes all the components you need for a business processworkflow. There are 3 primary types of Winshuttle solutions:

• Workflow Solution for Documents — A document solution has only a deployment profile component. With the Solution for Documents, you can design a workflow and publish it to any deployment profile.

  Deployment Profiles allow you to set up different environments for publishing a solution. This makes deploying solutions across different environments easier.

  Default profiles include Default, Development, Staging, and Production. You can create as many Deployment Profiles as you require.

• Workflow Solution for Forms — A form solution can contain every component possible. With the Solution for Forms, scripts are used automatically and you don't need to publish Web services through client products of QUERY or TRANSACTION. A solution file has the extension .wssln.

  A Web service is any form of communication or interoperability (service) between systems through an internal network (intranet) or the World Wide Web (internet).

• Workflow (legacy mode)—Much like Workflow Solution for forms, legacy mode can contain every solution component possible, but each component is stored separately in a separate file. For example, your workflow would be in 1 file, your Javascript would be in 1 file, and so on.
