You can lock down a workflow template so that it cannot be edited or used by instantiating the ISPFNonEditableCopy interface definition onto the workflow template. This is useful if you want to keep a workflow template as a master and use it only for reference. Elements used in the workflow template master realize the ISPFNonEditableCopy interface definition which does not allow those elements to be referenced, edited, updated, or terminated. You cannot use the workflow template master in the user interface as selection or update options for it are disabled. A workflow template master should be named with MSR as a prefix to indicate that it is a master.

If you want to use or edit a workflow template master, you must copy it. The copy of the workflow template does not instantiate the ISPFNonEditableCopy interface definition, so you can edit and update the copy to modify the workflow process. The copy can be used and selected in the user interface so objects can be attached. The workflow template copy should be named with HEX as a prefix to indicate that it is the editable version of the workflow.
