Workflow configuration
Serving the two web pages could also be achieved using separate processes, but in fact it is
more efficient to have a single process, as activity needs to be monitored for each process.
In real life the submitted data will probably not be stored in the Data Repository, but used
differently. This means that the Push to Repository task will need to be replaced by the
appropriate tasks, but that won't change the way the submitted data is retrieved.
To see how the current process does that, double-click the Push to Repository task and take a
look at the task's properties. The xmlget() function, used in the Value fields, is a data selection
function (see Data Selections). Data selection functions are available in many plugins, in any
field that accepts variables. Try right-clicking a field and select Get Data Location from the
contextual menu. (See also: Variable Task Properties.)
For general information about processes in Workflow see About Processes and Subprocesses,
in the Online Help of Workflow.
Sample Project: Serving a Web Page
The Serving a Web Page Sample Project creates an OL Connect project that responds to a
request by serving a web page. This project extracts data from a parameter in the given URL
and shows the value on the web page.
For an introduction to this Sample Project, see Sample Projects overview video on the OL
Learn website (start at 12:44) or on Youtube: Serving a Web Page.
Installing the project
To start the Sample Project, select File > New > Sample Projects > Serving a Web Page from
the menu. (See also: "Serving a Web Page - Sample Project" on page1068.)
Note
In order to use the project, OL Connect Server and OL Connect Workflow must be
installed on the local machine.
The wizard lets you select the folder in which you want the solution to be installed.
In the selected folder, the Sample Project will create two subfolders: Configurations and
