Retrieve Workflows

1 Introduction

A Retrieve workflows activity can be used to retrieve a list of System.Workflow objects.

It needs a workflow context object as its input. The provided workflow context object here can be associated with one or several workflow instances. A Runtime error occurs if the WorkflowContext parameter contains no object.

You can use this activity to check if the workflow context object is already used in a workflow, and if so, which workflows are used to process the workflow context object.
