Creating the ProcessDefinition

You begin by creating a new CDO for Workflow ProcessDefinition object and an ActiveX Data Objects Connection. Bind to the folder with the Connection object. With the open connection, set the desired properties on the ProcessDefinition object. Use the Recordset object built at run-time and set the ActionTable property on the process definition object. See Creating ActionTable Columns and Adding ActionTable Rows for examples of how to do this. Finally, save the ProcessDefinition properties to the URL and commit the transaction.

[Visual Basic]

   Dim iPD As New CDOWF.ProcessDefinition
   Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection

   sDomainURL = "file://./backofficestorage/" _
                & Environ("USERDNSDOMAIN") & _
                "/Public Folders/"
   sFolderURL = sDomainURL & sFolderName
   sProcDefURL = sFolderURL & "/" & sProcDef
   
   conn.Provider = "ExOleDb.DataSource"
   conn.Open sFolderURL
   conn.BeginTrans
   
   With iPD
    .ActionTable = Rs
   'Rs is open ADODB.Recordset built at runtime
   
    .AuditTrailProvider = "CdoWf.AuditTrailEventLog"
    .CommonScriptURL = sCommonScriptURL
    .Mode = cdowfPrivilegedMode
    .Fields("DAV:ishidden") = True
   End With

   iPD.DataSource.SaveTo sProcDefURL, _
                         conn, _
                         adModeReadWrite, _
                         adCreateOverwrite Or adCreateNonCollection
   
   conn.CommitTrans
