HI Guys, refering to the learning module, 300.NRT: Workflow Runtime APIs and Services, I would like to know the Q&A of these:

 

Q.Would you prefer to use the .NET client.dll, the WCF Services or the REST services to interact with workflows? 

I know these services are based on the runtime environment context , but need some specific explanations with use case.

 

Q. If using the .NET client.dll, how would you ensure that the applications are kept up-to-date when the K2 installation is updated?

 

Thanks.

There is a huge "it depends on, so" in this question. Those services do not expose the full functionality available in the client so that it would depend on your use case. 

As for managing the .NET client, it would have to be part of your upgrade plan just as it would be anytime you update software that has client bits in a distributed environment.
