Defining Automated AdminStudio Integration Workflow Steps
Workflow Manager 2020
Edition:This feature is available when you have purchased AdminStudio Enterprise Edition.
Workflow Manager leverages AdminStudio’s web services APIs to provide out-of-the-box support for enhanced automation data elements/workflow steps that make it possible to execute many AdminStudio tasks, such as:
|
•
|
Importing a package into the Application Catalog and performing testing |
|
•
|
Setting the target environment |
|
•
|
Setting packaging formats |
|
•
|
Setting distribution points |
|
•
|
Publishing applications |
|
•
|
Viewing and setting application properties |
This enhanced integration helps AdminStudio users leverage the built-in functionality of Workflow Manager, including approvals, email, issues, conditional logic, custom pages, reports, and integration with AdminStudio Inventory and Rationalization and FlexNet Manager Suite.
You can edit the out-of-the-box automation templates (Application Readiness Process Template or Mobile Application Request Template) or create new templates that incorporate these AdminStudio tasks by using the AdminStudio-related workflow step types and data element data types.
Important:Please note the following before executing the workflow:
