AdminStudio and Workflow Manager now share the same Application Catalog, so package-related data in AdminStudio and packaging process management data in Workflow Manager are linked and accessible via AdminStudio's Report Center and can feed into your CMDB. It provides a foundation for Definitive Software Library (DSL) support in your ITIL or Microsoft MOF and BDD implementations.

Additional integration enhancements include:

• AdminStudio's Job Manager, Report Center, and SMS Web Console now share a tabbed interface with Workflow Manager, making it easy to jump back and forth from different functional areas.
• You can now associate an application request in Workflow Manager with a package from either the AdminStudio or Workflow Manager UI, so you can quickly move from an application request progress report to a report on how that package was prepared for deployment.
• All security settings (users, roles, and permissions) for AdminStudio and Workflow Manager are managed from the same UI.
• When defining a Workflow Manager workflow template, you can choose to define a workflow phase as an AdminStudio workflow project, and you will receive progress notification from AdminStudio as the project steps are completed.

As you use AdminStudio to complete tasks, the percentage of work completed for each step is indicated by Workflow Manager. In addition, rollback of a workflow with an AdminStudio step is reflected in the associated Workflow Manager project.
