Workflow and ASDs

[RanjnaAggarwal]

If i modified the Workflow through ASD then it saves the workflow with the version number then suppose i have two versions of same workflow

ver 0

ver 1

then in one blueprint i want to point one blueprint to ver 0 and another blueprint to ver 1 then how can i do this.

If you're referring to vCO workflows, you will need to create two separate workflows, I believe.

[RanjnaAggarwal]

i am talking about workflows those are vCAC workflows by default there i modified some workflows

[AlexJudge]

Can you clarify what you mean by 'Workflow"?

[RanjnaAggarwal]

Please check the attached file.

[AlexJudge]

Ah, ok I see what you mean now.

The recommended way to modify workflows is to use the vCO vCAC Extensibility workflows to customise the vCAC internal workflow stubs. This will give you the flexibility you need.

[RanjnaAggarwal]

still i am not clear how can in one blueprint i can  point one blueprint to ver 0 and another blueprint to ver 1

[AlexJudge]

This is a complex question, but I'll try and cover it.

If you use vCO to extend the vCAC workflows, the additional parts of the workflow are done by vCO, rather than vCAC.

I see you have modified the BuildingMachine workflow stub. By using the vCO workflows, you can call a different vCO workflow from the BuildingMachine workflow stub, based on your blueprint. This means you don't actually need more than one version of the BuildingMachine workflow.

Hi...Do you have, in vCO two workflows?

You can use custom properties in the blueprints, and, based on that custom properties, in advaced services designer, call one vco workflow or the other.

Simple answer: you can't. vCO can only call whatever the active version of the workflow is. If you need to perform different functions, you need two workflows... or build one workflow that can handle the various conditions of both scenarios. Every IaaS blueprint has the option of being pointed to a different state workflow for each state, if necessary. Just depends on how much workflow sprawl and overhead you want.

I don't think he is using VCO VCAC extensibility.

What version of VCAC are you using?

[RanjnaAggarwal]

version 6.0

[SeanKohler]

As others have stated, I would really recommend getting out of Design Center and start using VCO to run your stubs.  This explains it well.
