All K2 Interview Questions

Scenarios where K2 Workflow Client API (SourceCode.Workflow.Client.dll) can be used.

The workflow Client API refers to the .NET assembly SourceCode.Workflow.Client.dll. This assembly exposes several classes and methods that are used by developers when interacting programmatically with a deployed workflow.

In practice, the SourceCode.Workflow.Client assembly is often used to create custom task lists, to start workflows or complete workflow tasks (known as worklist items) from custom user interfaces like ASP.NET web pages, and to create alternative interfaces or tools to allow users to maintain their out-of-office status and worklist items. The workflow client is also often used to create automated testing code or applications that are executed against a workflow definition to verify that the workflow is behaving as expected.

Scenarios where K2 Workflow Management API is used.

The workflow Management API refers to the .NET assembly SourceCode.Workflow.Management.dll. This assembly exposes several classes and methods that are used to administer K2 workflows and the K2 environment. Essentially, this API allows developers to perform similar administration functions as the ones exposed on the K2 workspace and K2 process portals’ Management console pages. The Workflow.Management API is not exposed as a WCF or Web service: it is only available as a .NET .dll
In practice, the SourceCode.Workflow.Management assembly is often used to manage processes, automate Error reporting and Error repair, to manage other users’ worklist items and Out-of-Office statuses, to manage active process instances and perform workflow version migration for in-flight workflows.
