Recurring WorkFlow

Question

AppFabric looks like a perfect place to develop some workflows for some of our business processes.  So far the training and documentation has a 'client' starting the WorkFlow.  I'm instead needing a way that a WorkFlow automatically starts up on a scheduled basis. 

Can anyone point me to documentation that explains having WorkFlows automatically starting up, kind of like a scheduled task.

Thanks!

Answer 1

To be clear.  I'm wanting to have a WorkFlow be kicked automatically off every hour.  This needs to happen perpetually. 

Is it possible to kick off a WorkFlow this way?

Answer 2

You could easily have a scheduled task call a console app that calls the WF service. I am not aware of any documentation out there that shows this specifically but it is very easy to do.

Thanks,
