Specifying Package Formats and Target Environments
Workflow Manager
You can use Workflow Manager to specify data about applications as part of an application rationalization process. For example, after performing testing on an application, you may want to specify the supported target operating system for the package. Or you may want to specify that you want to distribute the package in a different package format than its current format, which may require application virtualization. You may also want to create workflow templates where package format or target environment could be used as a branching condition.
To perform this task, Workflow Manager includes two data element data types that provide built-in support for prompting the user to specify the package format or target operating system environment of a package.
