Setting Launch on Demand for a workflow
Use the Workflow Designer (Advanced) application to set a Launch on Demand flag for a workflow if the workflow is designed to be run from the Workflow Launcher application.
About this task
When a workflow is launched from the Workflow Launcher, a new instance of the object type associated with the workflow is created, and routed into the workflow.
The Launch on Demand flag can be set if the workflow is active and its object type is supported for use with the Workflow Launcher application. Objects defined in the rba.lod.objects system property are eligible for Launch on Demand.
In addition, the object that
is created when a workflow is launched using the Workflow Launcher
can be classified automatically, prior to routing the object into
the workflow by selecting an Object Classification in the Launch On
Demand Details section on the Canvas tab. For example, the workflow
may be designed to process a Change record, and expects the Change
record to be classified as an Emergency change, with a particular
set of specification attributes. To define the classification that
is to be used when creating and routing the object (a Change, for
example), select an Object Classification in the Launch On Demand
Details section on the Canvas tab.
Note: This is not the same as
the classification defined for the workflow to classify workflow instance
objects (WFINSTANCE).
Procedure
- Select a workflow process from the Processes list.
- Click the Enable Process for Launch-on-demand action. If the workflow's object type is not defined in the rba.lod.objects system property file, Launch on Demand is not supported for that object, and an error message displays if the user tries to enable Launch on Demand. Required attributes associated with objects added to this system property must have default values.
