About this task

Before you execute a response processor for a workflow, you need to create a workflow, attach the workflow to a resource block operation step, and then generate the catalog. To return the response from the workflow to the Cloud Provisioning and Governance application, the workflow designer needs to add the Cloud Return Response activity to the workflow. A variable needs to be mentioned inside the Cloud Return Response activity for the response. See Worflow.
