Starting workflow instances through ProcessWorkflow BODs

In various applications, users can start workflow instances. See the application's documentation.

To start a new workflow instance, the external application must send a ProcessWorkflow message containing the name of the workflow definition that is to be used. The ProcessWorkflow message can also contain other input parameters or input structures. When a workflow instance is complete, any output parameters are sent back in an Acknowledge Workflow message.

This section contains details about the message patterns that can be used for the Workflow BOD. For more details about the Workflow BOD contents, see the Infor ION Development Guide .
