Install and Configure the Workflow Preview Portal (Optional)ΒΆ

  1. Choose a Physical Path location for preview databases to be stored.

    By default this is c:\Colectica\WorkflowPreviewDatabases\. All Workflow related software will need access to this path. Installing on the same machine is a simple solution.

  2. Add file permissions to the user account that runs the Colectica Workflow Service, Colectica Preview Portal, and Colectica Workflow Website.

    The user must have read and write access to the physical path above.

  3. Install Colectica Portal.

      <setting name="IsWorkflowPreview" serializeAs="String">

      </setting>

          <value>c:\Colectica\WorkflowPreviewDatabases\</value>
      </setting>
