You are configuring a SharePoint environment to support workflows.
Workflows must meet the following requirements:
Display a visual representation of the workflow.
Display the workflow history.
Provide access to external lists.
You need to implement the necessary shared services.
Which shared services should you implement? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)
A.
Business Data Connectivity Services
B.
Workflow Services
C.
Access Services
D.
Word Automation Services
E.
Visio Graphics Services
Explanation:
B: SharePoint Server 2013 can use a new workflow service built on the Windows Workflow
Foundation components of the .NET Framework 4.5. This new service is called Workflow Manager
and it is designed to play a central role in the enterprise. Processes are central to any organization
and workflow is the orchestrator of processes.
E: SharePoint Designer 2013 includes new functionality designed specifically for Workflow Manager.
In SharePoint Designer 2013 this new platform is known as the SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform.
These new features include:
A visual workflow development experience that uses a Visio 2013 add-in
Debateable answer from previous post:
1. There is no “Workflow services” in SharePoint. There are “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service” and “Workflow Manager”, but it is not a SharePoint service, it is separated product.
2. “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service” is run on all SharePoint services by default, it is not needed to be additionally provisioned.
3. It is specified in question that workflow must “Provide access to external lists”
Correct answers are A and E
I do not think this will be on the exam if there is a debate on this question.
