Spawn

Creates a workflow instance from a template, applies a patch then starts this workflow.


            Number 
            instanceId = Spawn (
            String       
            workflowId,

            XML          
            patch
            

      )

Parameters

workflowId

Identifier or internal name of the workflow template.

patch

The XML element that must be merged with the model to obtain the instance before executing it. Example:


    <workflow>
      <activities>
        <extern name="notepad">
          <additionnalArgs><![CDATA[c:\xxx.txt]]>
          </additionnalArgs>
        </extern>
      </activities>
    </workflow>

This example replaces the arguments of the 'notepad' activity. If you do not want to apply this patch, use an empty <workflow/> element or an empty string.

Return value(s)

instanceId

Identifier of the instance created from the template.

Remarks

The command is executed in asynchronous mode and does not have an immediate effect after the return of the method. The workflow is started with the account of the calling operator.
