Installation

Logic Process Orchestrator is deployed as a managed solution to your Microsoft Dataverse environment. It supports both cloud and on-premises deployments, giving you flexibility in how you run your business processes.

Important

Logic Process Orchestrator depends on Logic Composer. The Logic runtime must be installed before Logic Process Orchestrator, as Logic Process Orchestrator leverages Logic constructs for automation, branching decisions, expressions, and configuration values.

Step 1: Acquire a License

Before installing Logic Process Orchestrator, you must obtain a license from the Microsoft Marketplace.

License Portal: https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/saas/flowon.flowon_public_initial

Licensing

Contact the Flowon team through the marketplace listing for licensing inquiries, pricing information, and trial options.

Step 2: Import Solutions

Logic Process Orchestrator consists of multiple managed solutions that must be imported in the correct order. Because Logic Process Orchestrator depends on Logic, you must install the complete Logic stack before installing Logic Process Orchestrator.

Solution Architecture

Solution	Description
Flowon Base	Foundation - prerequisite for all Logic Fabric products
Logic Composer	Runtime engine for Logic Blocks, Flows, and expressions
Logic Composer Tools	Design interface for creating logic artifacts
Logic Process Orchestrator	Core runtime for process execution
Logic Process Orchestrator Tools	Visual designer for modeling processes

Flowon Base (Foundation)

Flowon Base is the prerequisite solution that must be installed first. It provides foundational components used across all Logic Fabric products.

Component	Description
Flowon Project Entity	The container for organizing Logic Fabric artifacts
Related Artifacts	Shared entities, web resources, and configurations
License Management	License validation and activation

Logic Composer (Required for Logic Process Orchestrator)

Logic Composer must be installed before Logic Process Orchestrator. Logic Process Orchestrator relies on Logic for:

Integration Point	How Logic Process Orchestrator Uses Logic
On Entering/Exiting	Call Logic Flows when entering or exiting stages
Transition Branching	Use Logic Blocks (Decision Tables, Decision Trees) to determine which path to follow
Expression Builder	Use Logic Fabric expressions in all configurable fields
Configuration Values	Reference Configuration variables for dynamic values
Localized Resources	Display multi-language text in process interfaces

Logic Process Orchestrator (Runtime)

Logic Process Orchestrator is the core runtime solution containing everything needed to execute business processes.

Component	Description
Plugins	Server-side logic for process execution
Entities	Process definitions, instances, stages, traces
Forms	Runtime forms for process interaction
Workflows	Background automation components

Required in All Environments

The Logic Process Orchestrator runtime solution must be installed in every environment where processes will execute - development, test, and production.

Logic Process Orchestrator Tools (Designer)

Logic Process Orchestrator Tools provides the visual designer interface for modeling and configuring business processes.

Component	Description
Process Designer	Visual canvas for designing process flows
Stage Configuration	Tools for configuring stage behavior
Transition Builder	Interface for defining routing logic

Production Environments

In production environments, you typically only need the runtime solutions. The Tools/Designer solutions are not required for execution and can be omitted to reduce the solution footprint.

Environment	Flowon Base	Logic Composer	Logic Composer Tools	Logic Process Orchestrator	Logic Process Orchestrator Tools
Development	✅ Required	✅ Required	✅ Required	✅ Required	✅ Required
Test/UAT	✅ Required	✅ Required	⚠️ Optional	✅ Required	⚠️ Optional
Production	✅ Required	✅ Required	❌ Not Required	✅ Required	❌ Not Required

Import Order

Import the solutions as managed solutions in this exact sequence:

Step	Solution	Required	Depends On
1	Flowon Base	Yes	None
2	Logic Composer	Yes	Flowon Base
2a	Logic Composer Tools	Design environments only	Flowon Base, Logic Composer
3	Logic Process Orchestrator	Yes	Flowon Base, Logic Composer
4	Logic Process Orchestrator Tools	Design environments only	Flowon Base, Logic Composer, Logic Process Orchestrator

Step 3: Configure Security

After importing the solutions, configure user access to Logic Process Orchestrator.

Process Designer Security Role

Upon installation, Logic Process Orchestrator creates a security role called Process Designer. Users who need to create and configure business processes must be assigned this role.

Role	Capabilities
Process Designer	Create, edit, publish, and activate business processes

Assigning the Role

To assign the Process Designer role:

1. Navigate to Settings → Security → Users
2. Select the user who needs design access
3. Click Manage Roles
4. Select Process Designer
5. Click OK to save

Role Assignment

Only users who need to design and configure processes should be assigned the Process Designer role. Runtime users who only participate in processes (completing tasks, approvals, etc.) do not need this role.

Deployment Options

Logic Process Orchestrator supports both cloud and on-premises Dataverse deployments:

Deployment	Supported	Notes
Dataverse Online	✅ Yes	Cloud deployment via Microsoft Dataverse
Dataverse On-Premises	✅ Yes	On-premises deployment for organizations with specific data residency or compliance requirements
