Integrating Package Extended Attribute Data with a Workflow Request
AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | Application Manager
Note:AdminStudio Workflow Manager is a Web-based application management system that has integrated functionality with AdminStudio.
Application Catalog allows you to integrate extended attributes with AdminStudio Workflow Manager. This option is enabled by selecting the Integrate with Workflow Manager option on the General tab of the Application Manager Options dialog box.
When the Integrate with Workflow Manager option is selected, you can associate extended attribute data for packages in Application Manager with workflows in Workflow Manager. This is accomplished by right-clicking on the package name in the Application Catalog tree and selecting Associate with Workflow Manager Workflow Request from the shortcut menu.
To associate a package with a Workflow Manager workflow request:
| 1. | Open Application Manager. |
| 2. | Connect to the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog. See Connecting AdminStudio Client Tools to the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog. |
| 3. | On the Application Catalog tab menu, click Options. The Options dialog box opens. |
| 4. | In the Extended Attributes area of the General tab, confirm that the Integrate with Workflow Manager option is selected. |
| 5. | In the Application Catalog tree, right-click on the product that you want to link to Workflow Manager and select Associate with Workflow Manager Workflow Request from the shortcut menu. |
The Associate with Workflow Manager Workflow Request dialog box opens.
| 6. | Pick the application in Workflow Manager with which you want to associate this product. |
Assuming that Workflow Manager is configured to use the same extended attributes file, if you enter new data into the Extended Attributes view in Application Manager for a package, Workflow Manager automatically detects it; if changes are made in Workflow Manager, they are automatically reflected in Application Manager.
By design, extended attributes data in Application Manager and Workflow Manager data have a one-to-one relationship. You can only associate one Workflow Manager workflow with a package in Application Manager; once the workflow is associated, it is no longer available for association with other Application Catalog packages.
Note:Another integration feature between AdminStudio and Workflow Manager is that when you associate a package with a Workflow Manager workflow request and then view that workflow request’s Workflow Report, there is a link to open the Package Report of its associated package. There is also a link on the Package Report to open the Workflow Report of its associated workflow request.
