Is there a way to add SqlTrackingService to WorkflowApplication in WF4?

I've been searching for a way to add the SqlTrackingService to the WorkflowApplication in WF4 similar to the way it can be done in WF3 as follows:

WorkflowRuntime wr = new WorkflowRuntime();
SqlTrackingService ts = new SqlTrackingService("Initial Catalog=Tracking;Data 
Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;");
ts.UseDefaultProfile = true;
wr.AddService(ts);
wr.StartRuntime();

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • WF4 has the concept of TrackingParticipant. You can attach tracking participants to your workflow execution and it will receive its events.

    You can implement a SQLTrackingParticipant. Check these WF examples where you've available an example of an custom SQLTrackingParticipant on \WF\Basic\Tracking\SqlTracking folder.
