一、K2 Workflow 一个据说不错的工作流引擎,和SharePoint、InfoPath有良好的连接能力,而且扩展性也是很强。只不过翻遍互连网也没有找到能下载D版。官方网站只有试用密钥的申请和sp1的下载。kaneboy用SPS、InfoPath、K2、Mobile、Exchange已经做了一个简单的解决方案,看了之后才知道什么是高手。
二、Teamplate Workflow 是美国Captaris公司提供的工作流引擎,和Microsoft的产品进行了很好的集成,如SharePoint, InfoPath, BizTalk, Exchange, CMS, Outlook, Microsoft Office Solution Accelerator for Sarbanes-Oxley等等。
Rickie Lee曾经实验过,以下部分转发自他的blog,
Teamplate for .Net允许客户迅速建立和部署工作流程自动化方案。该软件方案提供工作流程建立向导,让非技术用户在无须编写任何程序代码下,仍可建立和部署工作流程方案。另外,程序开发人员则可借助Visual Studio所提供功能全面IDE环境,开发负责而又能充分整合现有系统的工作流程方案,消减方案开发所需的时间和成本。
Teamplate以C#编写而成,是基于.Net工作流程引擎。Teamplate采用3层架构设计,可按需要提供灵活的系统延伸性,可于任何主从架构或互联网环境操作。
Teamplate Workflow完全集成SharePoint,并可以与Area, Library或指定的目录进行关联,同时通过特定的SharePoint事件(upload, change, copy, move, check-in, check-out, or delete)进行触发。Teamplate Workflow自动管理文档中心协作、批准、出版和任务提醒,让用户相互协作和完成任务。
Teamplate SharePoint Web Parts提供了Teamplate for .Net的大部分特性和功能,与基于Windows的界面相似的一组基于Web的组件。Teamplate SharePoint Web Parts可以定制并继承所部署SharePoint站点的属性。这些Web Parts允许SharePoint站点的Administrator和Designer创建信息门户和文档管理系统。在这个环境中,用户可以访问基于浏览器的可视化Web组件来完成任务,如
1. FolderView和FileList Web Part可用来访问files, Models, TaskList and Monitoring Views。
2. TaskList和ProcessView Web Part可用来打开、执行和管理分配给他们的任务,管理所在的组和共享任务的用户。
3. Monitor Views则提供了工作流状态的图像化显示。
部署Teamplate SharePoint Web Parts
这个比较简单。在安装Teamplate时,会自动在C:\Inetpub\wwwroot文件夹下创建bin目录,并且拷贝相应的Web Parts。同时,这些Web Parts也注册为Safe Controls,并创建了相应的.dwp文件。
Troubleshooting Deployment
SharePoint 2003要求Windows 2003 Server和IIS Server 6. Teamplate SharePoint Web Parts正常运行还需要完成如下繁琐配置:
• Ensure the Network Service or ASPNET User and permissions are configured to have full controls to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Models folder on the Security tab.
• Teamplate is synchronized with Active Directory
• Teamplate WebAccess Virtual Directory must be set to use Integrated Security (cannot be set to Anonymous) but this is a default of the installation of Teamplate Server
• The machine running SharePoint within an Active Directory domain will need to be added as a "Trusted Delegate"
• Enable Session State for all ASP.NET applications
• The *.tmp extension is registered as a MIME Type.
• There may permission issues with IIS. If this is the case then you will have to make
some configuration changes.
• Developers creating workflow with the SharePoint Workflow Wizard need to be added to the Administrators Group of the SharePoint machine
• Web Definition File and Safe Controls have been registered.
• Event Handlers are configured properly.
• Internet Explorer High Security Configuration is disabled.
• Teamplate Events are firing.
• SharePoint Portal Names. Ensure that you don’t use an underscore (“_“) in a SharePoint Portal name as this is a Microsoft Security issue.
