    Deployment Strategies

    Hi All.

    My team and I have produced a workflow for a SharePoint site. It's pretty specific as to what it does and what it can interact with. At the moment we have only one site, but we'd like to deploy the workflow to multiple identical sites (each site is a project).

    How is this best achieved... at the moment the workflow knows about the SharePoint environment by the environment settings. I wondering if the best thing to do would be to pass in the SharePoint url to the workflow so it could work out which site it should be interacting with...

    Advice welcome.... as we've been promising that we'd spawn 10 sites with the same workflow on it.... but I don't think deploying 10 instances of the workflow is a good idea....

    The workflow makes extensive use of SmartObjects, so the database will support all sites without any problem.... it's just the deployment thats got me thinking...
