Is the new 2016 Workflow engine different from SP 2013 Workflow engine?
Prasad Punneri, SharePoint 2016 uses same WF engine as SharePoint 2013.
May be am deviating from the topic. if i wanna connect to a Oracle DataSource from SPList, from my SPO site, what are the ways to achieve this?
if I use MSFlow, will it be helpful ?
if I use custom SP D WF , how to make calls to manipulate Oracle Data?
How to use BCS connectivity in SPO ? is it possible to connect Oracle DataSource using BCS in SPO using SPD 2013 ?
Currently our workflows are quite minimal. They are essentially just a queue of Actions to be performed in a desired order.
So, is the idea to...
1. Create the event and wrap all the Action processing in it.
2. Then call it from the workflow so that it all this processes is executed outside of WF.
3. Then once completed WF advances to the next step.
Is the difference in that this will move the processing from the WF to the Service or site?
Craig Lamb If you look at the code published by Andrew Connell https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/officeapps/SharePoint-2013-Route-25a25d87, all your questions will be cleared. I am adding a couple of screenshots for your reference. Please let me know if you still have questions. Thanks.
Thanks. I'll take a look.
Or... have we gone about things wrong in that a Workflow Custom Activity is what we need to call from the page instead of a SharePoint workflow? Thus Workflows are small and light weight while Workflow Custom Activities are for heavy lifting and larger tasks.
Or do I need both... and a Workflow Custom Activity is something called from a Share Point Workflow to process the larger tasks.
Sorry for all the questions. I am finding that there appears to be little information on this, and that you appear to be one of the few experts. :)
