Question

I have a workflow service (.xamlx), type of flowchart workflow (WF4). WF service is hosted via IIS 7. I used request-response MEP. Service and operation contract are defined using Receive activities.
Workflow instance represents the request for training and contains candidates for the training. Training is multiphase and each phase ends with a meeting. My problem is if some candidate don’t attend the meeting, he needs to go back to a previous step in the workflow, while others go to the next phase.
How to split the instance in this case or what to do to support this?

Answer 1

It sounds like each student can have it’s own part through the workflow independent of others. That suggests that each student should be a separate workflow instance.
