Where is the file “channel.asp” found in version 5?

The file “channel.asp” is no longer used in Version 5 of WorkflowGen. The SharePoint Portlet (for version 5) can be integrated through the URL: http://[YOURSERVER]/wfgen/show.aspx?QUERY=SHOW_RSS
All the parameters remain the same as in the WorkflowGen version 4. For more information, please refer to the technical guide for WorkflowGen version 4 (downloadable from the WorkflowGen 4 Club site).
Example 1
http://[YOURSERVER]/wfgen/show.aspx?QUERY=SHOW_RSS&USERNAME=wfgen_admin
Example 2
N.B.: There is a new security rule in version 5.
- Only WorkflowGen administrators can access the Portlet of other users by using the USERNAME parameter
- Regular users can only access their own Portlet
- By default, the Portlet of the connected user is displayed if the USERNAME parameter is not provided in the URL
A "Sharepoint Library Not Found" error message is raised when a process try to export a document in a SPS Library or a data in a SPS List.
This error can occur for several reasons:
- Check the parameters of the action:
SPS_URL should be your SPS Site URL
SPS_LIBRARY the name of your library
- Check the credentials (login and password) defined in the WorkflowGen application.
- Check the security settings in IIS Management Console for the folder corresponding to the application:
Browse the directory /wfgen/wfapps/webservices/pdf2db
Right click on properties
Uncheck all the options and check the “Basic authentication” option
Which temporary Folder is used by WssEventRemoteLaunch and which rights it needs?
The Webservice WssEventRemoteLaunch uses a temporary folder to put files where WorkflowGen will be able to get them.
- The temporary folder used is defined by an environment variable on the SharePoint Server computer. The environment variable used can be specified as the last parameter in the Document Library advanced properties where WssEventRemoteLaunch is used. If no environment variable is specified, then environment variable TEMP is used.
- To know the value of the environment variable, right-click on “My Computer”, “Properties”, tab “Advanced”, button “Environment Variables”. In “System Variables”, you should find the value name; default value for TEMP is C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. If your variable name isn't listed, define it to the folder you want to use, to make a new variable available, you may have to restart the computer. If SharePoint isn't on the same computer as WorkflowGen, you can use a UNC path (i.e.:\\Server\folder).
- The account used by WssEventRemoteLaunch to write the file is the Security Account of the Application Pool. To know which account is used, open the Internet Information Services Management Console, right-click on folder “Applications Pool”, “Properties”, tab “Identity”. The default value is “NETWORK SERVICE”.
- The account used by WorkflowGen to read the files is the one specified in the Document Library Advanced Setting. To know the value, edit the Document Library properties in Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003, then click on “Modify settings and columns” under “Actions”, and then click “Change advanced settings”. In Properties, the second parameter defines the WorkflowGen user. So, the temporary folder set in the environment variable must have write rights for the Application Pool account and read rights for the WorkflowGen account.
