OL Connect Professional Workflow

Hi

Does workflow have anything within it that can setup a API listener so a client can send data to us via API?

Thanks

James

Hi Phil,

This has come back again for me with a different client, but Iive just been thinking and we regularly have to stop the workflow service to put changes live etc, so when we did this would it mean the client would get errors when they try and submit data via API if we are stopping\starting the service?

Regards

James

Yes, if you stop/start the service, then the API is unresponsive for the few seconds during which the service is offline.The client would receive timeout errors since the service wouldn’t respond anything.

Ok thought so, I’ll look for other options as we current have over 150 processes within our workflow so it takes a couple of minutes to start\stop the service
