In this exercise, you add an event without reply as a transition
action on the
Close transition of
MyAppWorkflow.
Asynch is an asynchronous orchestration
workflow. When
Asynch is invoked from the
Close transition, it creates a new item in
MyOtherAppProject. The
Title box of the new item contains the text that
was added by the
SynchBefore and
SynchAfter orchestration workflows and some
additional text.
