You can execute a SharePoint workflow on multiple webs (and multiple lists if workflow types list and state machine). The executed workflow script is always the same. All other settings are identical (names of lists such as error list or data list). If you configure this property you cannot configure
Web
andAlternateWebUrls
in parallel. The<object>
looks like this: The<object>
looks like this:Connection = @( @{ Web = "https://firstweb.sharepoint.farm"; AlternateWebUrls = @(); }, @{ Web = "https://secondweb.sharepoint.farm"; AlternateWebUrls = @(); } )
For a description of
Web
andAlternateWebUrls
please read the descriptions of the properties below.

The following two parameters can be used to specify credentials for the workflow for SharePoint access.
If not specified the executing user will be used to access SharePoint.
This user need to have permissions on all object the workflow need to access, e.g. workflow list, items, data list, config list, ...
However it is possible to store credentials in a protected fashion using the parameter
--setusername
onkenaflow.exe
. This will write the encrypted credentials to these two parameters. - Encryption of credentials uses the kenaflow encryption passphrase configured in global configuration. - If encrypted the setting contains a Base64 encoded string that starts with unicode character 0xFFFF. This means that the plainspUser
andspPassword
are not allowed to start this character!
spoAppId = "";
and spoAppSecret = '';
Only if platform is 'spo' = SharePoint Online
Here you can specify "app credentials" to access SharePoint online.
Please read article App ID & App Secret.
You can store encrypted credentials here with program switch
