Step 3: Build and Deploy the Workflow Solution

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

In this topic you build and deploy a SharePoint Server 2010 solution that uses Word Automation Services.

Building and Deploying the Solution

Once you have followed the previous steps in this walkthrough, you can build and deploy the resulting solution.

To build and deploy the solution

  1. With the ArchiveDocument solution selected in Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2010, click Build and then click Deploy Solution.

  2. On the SharePoint site where you deployed the solution, navigate to the source (input) list, for example, the Shared Documents library, and then upload a new Microsoft Word document to initiate the workflow.

    Note

    If you attached the workflow to a different list, navigate to that list.

  3. Click the drop-down next to the new document and then click Edit Properties.

  4. Set Status to Final.

  5. Click OK.

When the timer job runs and the conversion is processed, an XPS file appears next to the original document (refresh the page to see the result).
