While there are many ways to do this, Workflow Services are an interesting option. In this episode, I'll show you how youcan create a service that accepts start, stop, and query messages, and supports scheduling.    WF4 Batch Job Example (MSDN Code Gallery)    endpoint.tv - AppFabric AutoStart and WF4 Batch Job ExampleRon Jacobsblog        http://blogs.msdn.com/rjacobstwitter    @ronljacobsWhat do you want to see on endpoint.tv? en Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:28:14 GMT Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:28:14 GMT Rev9 Re: Workflow TV - Workflow Services as a Batch Job If you want to make the batch work autostart see this post

The only diference between my workflow and yours is that I am using 3.5. I wanna be able to create a composite activity that does all that. The delay activity is not good enogh for me because of maximum time limitation.

 

I used the reflector to see how things work in built in composite activities and it's a little bit dificult to schedule and control child activities of a composite but I will do it.

 

I did something you sould also create in your examples (sugestion) is create a MMC extension (there is a hole lab on it). And implement a monitor to workflows just like an application (I forgot the name) I'll send you tomorrow.  My boss loved.

 

About the Workflow app fabric windows service that check if there are workflows down and resume execution I will have to implement that. It will be not an issue.

 

I'll send you my sample as soon as it's ready. I would like to get you opinion. You seems to be the only other person that is working in WF besides me.
