Runtime services consist of predefined and user-defined classes that are available to the workflow runtime ENGINE during execution to customize the behavior of workflow runtime.

Some of the runtime services available in WF 4.0 are as follows:

Scheduling services: Enable CREATING and scheduling new workflow instances for execution.

Work batch services:Enable behavior to maintain a stable and consistent execution environment.

Persistence services: Enable you to save or restore the state of a running workflow for later use. You can restart the saved workflow anytime in future, even after weeks of inactivity.

Tracking services: Enable you to monitor the state of the WORKFLOWS. This is particularly useful when you have multiple workflows active at the same time (for example, in a shopping cart application).

TIMER service:MANAGES the timing required by the DelayActivity activity.

Transactions services:Provide the transaction support needed for data integrity.

Data exchange services:Manage custom communication services.

Threading services:Administer physical threads used to execute workflow instances.
