I am playing around with the workflow engine and I am trying to create a simple workflow like this:
"Request Vacation" -> Start->"Manager Approve"->End
So the are:
Places
Start
Manager Approval
End
Transitions:
Approve
Dummy
Arcs:
Start->Approve
Approve->Manager Approval
Manager Approval->Dummy
Dummy->End
So what should I do inside the dummy transition to finish the workflow?

If you are trying to construct a workflow to implement Start->"Manager Approve"->End
If you look at file radicore/workflow/docs/workflow-examples.html you will see some examples which have been set up in the workflow database.

Do you really want a workflow which has only one transition? Is this a realistic scenario? Can a workflow with a single transition really be classed as a workflow?
If you must do it, you should remember that each transition in a workflow equates to a transaction (task) on the MENU database, so if you want a dummy transition you must relate it to a dummy task, one that uses a transaction pattern which updates the database (otherwise the workflow details cannot be updated) but which does not actually update the database. You could, for example, use a task which sends the employee an email to say "request granted".
