Workflow API Response and Workflow Compare

asked on November 13

I did find a few posts about Workflow and a standard API response code:

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/172576/Laserfiche-Workflow-API-Response#180437

Are there further updates on this?  We have a process where another system is calling a workflow via API (this is on prem, not Cloud).  They get back the generic success code, however if the workflow fails and there is an issue, nothing gets notified.  I know that we can build out catches in the workflow as well can make a call to that systems endpoint if there is an issue but that would involve that system writing another endpoint.  Are there additional options maybe in 12 for standard API response codes?

Also, is anyone aware if there is a comparison tool for Laserfiche workflows?  A customer is wanting to compare workflows in Dev vs Prod to verify they are the same.  I know we can export the workflows and maybe put them into a xml compare utility but didnt know if there was a better tool.

 

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

For the success/failure response codes, fundamentally no for the invoke calls, because the Workflow web service API simply adds instances to the workflow queue. All it knows at the time is if queuing the instance was successful or not. There are other calls you can make to check the instance status.

No comparison tools of the sort you're asking about. XML comparison utilities are generally what we use ourselves for the type of "Dev/Prod difference checker" use case you described.
