Common Registration Activities

Registration" activities are those Operation activities that are commonly used in provisioning workflows, such as the "CreatePerson" and "CreateAccount" workflows. This topic provides a brief overview of these activities and the notable properties associated with each.

Theses activities have both general properties that are common to all Operation activities, as well as a number of activity-specific properties, also known as "Dependency properties." Dependency properties are properties that can bound from one activity to another for maintaining the consistency of workflow data at runtime.

var grpList = new E.Tlist<C.Group>();
if(grpView.Count > 0){
   foreach(var grp in grpView){

//Set group properties
TargetGroup.AccountStoreID = 1001;
TargetGroup.Name = "BK-207-WynDot2"; //Required field

TargetGroup.LogonName = "BK-207-WynDot2";
TargetGroup.Description = "WynDot Users Group";
TargetGroup.GroupTypeID = 1; //Required field

//Instantiate a new list of groups and add TargetGroup to it
var TargetGroups = new E.TList<C.Group>();
TargetGroups.Add(TargetGroup);

//Add properties to the CreateGroupOperation
CurrentWorkflow.CreateGroupRequestOperation.TargetGroups = TargetGroups;
CurrentWorkflow.CreateGroupRequestOperation.TargetOrgZone = TargetOrgZone;
CurrentWorkflow.CreateGroupRequestOperation.ShowExecutionMessage = false; //Keeps the Operation Execution Summary from showing
