I still haven't seen any official documentation about custom workflow development. I assume it's being written - when should we see it? Thanks, Carol http://www.wapshere.com/missmiis

There is some good best practices information in Developing Custom Workflows and Activities. There is a good example for ILM "2" RCO on Ensync's website here. The activity reference library is up-to-date for RTM. I believe that "official" SDK code examples are still a few months away. Are there specific example activities that you would like to see?

Hi Megan, Like Carol I am waiting on for "official" step-by-step instructions and code samples for creating custom workflow activity. I am particularly interested in invoking powershell cmds. Currently I am trying to see how best I can adopt code samples at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd483375(VS.100).aspx. It is pretty easy to get things to work but without much experience in WF/WCF/C#/.Net, I am finding it hard to determine the "right-way" to doing it so as to not run into memory leaks, hung jobs, throttling issues etc. AnuAnu

If you have specific ideas about what types of workflow examples you need, please let me know. I am working on an end-to-end example and need to prioritize other examples. What specifically are you trying to accomplish with using PowerShell from .Net? You can use PowerShell without calling it from .Net code. We just added some example PowerShell example scripts and re-useable functions here.

Hi Megan! I think there's a need for code examples on how each of the FIM activities could be used, currently there's only a very short descriptions for each member available on them - some of these description need to be a lot more comprehensive. A whole bunch of the activities doesn't have an explanation at all, for example the UpdateRequestActivity that is a supported activity. In these cases the members alone will have to describe what the activity does and that is far from enough. I also think there should be a guide with code examples on how to handle Interupted WF behavior. //HenrikHenrik Nilsson, ILM/FIM MVP Blog: http://www.idmcrisis.com Company: Cortego (http://www.cortego.se)

We have now posted a walkthrough for creating a custom activity in Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (FIM 2010): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff859524.aspx That example creates a logging activity that logs request data to a file. It is an end-to-end example that shows how to create an activity in Visual Studio, load the activity into FIM, configure the activity, and use the activity in FIM 2010.

Hi Henrik, I agree that there should be some code examples for coping with interruped WF behavior. I will look into that. This doesn't include code examples, but this topic shows what will happen when the workflow is interrupted at various stages: Interrupted Workflow Behavior http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff463663.aspx

Hi, So did you finally created some robust step-by-step guide?
