Edit OOTB workflows in Designer

Hello,

vCAC provides a few OOTB workflows when we choose the 'create' option while building a blueprint.

Ex: WIM Image workflow, Basic VM workflow, External provisioning workflow, Linux kickstart workflow and Virtual SCCM provisioning workflow

How can we edit this to understand what is underneath each workflow? How can we customize this?

Are these workflows located in any particular folder during the vCAC installation?

thanks!

The provisioning workflows cannot be edited.  You can interact with the process using the workflow stubs that are part of designer, but the actual provisioning workflows themselves are compiled and not avialable for edit.  This is done to ensure functionality is not broken within them.  The workflow stubs allow you to customize the process by executing your modified workflows at specific points along the process.  The avialable stubs are:

MachineBuilding

MachineProvisioned

MachineExpired

MachineDisposed

MachineRegistered

I have more information including examples on my blog if you need.

Thanks,
