int                     nodeCount;
str                     workflowName;
SysDictWorkflowType     sysDictWorkflowType;
SysDictWorkflowCategory sysDictWorkflowCategory;
;
workflowTypesNode = treenode::findNode(#WorkflowTypesPath);
nodeCount = workflowTypesNode.AOTchildNodeCount();
workFlowNode = workflowTypesNode.AOTfirstChild();
for (i=1; i<=nodeCount; ++i)
{
workflowName = workFlowNode.AOTgetProperty("Name");
try
{
sysDictWorkflowType = SysDictWorkflowType::newTypeName(workflowName);
sysDictWorkflowCategory = new SysDictWorkflowCategory(sysDictWorkflowType.category());
info(sysDictWorkflowCategory.label() + ";"
+ sysDictWorkflowType.label() + ";"
