public abstract string PackageDefinition(
    Guid definitionId,
    string packageDefaultFilename,
    string packageTitle,
    string packageDescription
)

Parameters

• definitionId
  Type: System.Guid

  The guid identifier of the workflow definition.

• packageDefaultFilename
  Type: System.String

  The default filename to choose for the new package.

• packageTitle
  Type: System.String

  The title of the package.

• packageDescription
  Type: System.String

  The description of the package.

Return value

Type: System.String
Returns the URL of the package file in the Site Asset library.

Remarks

This method does not activate the package. If a package with the same name already exists in the Site Assets library, the method adds an integer suffix in braces to the file name. For example, a package with the filename packageDefaultFilename.wsp would have a duplicate filename altered to be packageDefaultFilename{2}.wsp and so forth.
