tracking WF using appfabric

Question

Hello,

I have a wcf service that is hosted in IIS. This service launches some workflows that are dynamically loaded from the db. This is not a WF Service hosted in IIS ( no .xamlx extension).

The WCF service itself is being monitored by AppFabric monitoring, is it possible to write a custom tracking participant that logs my custom tracking data to app fabric WF tracking ?

can someone point out any resources or samples that do this ?

 

many thanks

It must be possible using PowerShell, a starting point is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee677204.aspx, then we would need specifics on what and how, but seems this article is a logical continuation: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WF/WinSrvAppFabric.aspx

You can create a custom tracking profile. A starting point on a tracking profile is to look at existing ones like at this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee677267.aspx. Then you can customize the profile and can load it as ArthurZ mentiioned.

Thanks,

seeker_123,

Did you find how to add a tracking participant which the AppFabric Dashboard shows?
I'm looking for something simulair, but when i use the WorkflowApplication or even an own WorkflowServiceHost i've the idea that i loose all of the features AppFabric has. I might be wrong, but it seems that the only way to keep those features, is to create only .xamlx workflows with receive activity's. I'm still looking for a way to let AppFabric host my xaml workflows.
