WF Instantiation Form

Hi,

I have a requirement to Bring WF instantiation form from a CGI Program using some IW perl modules. Is this possible ? I know I can invoke() workflow but my req is TAG_INFO and CGI_Info has to come on click of some link on CGI. Then on click of buttons in that Section workflow has to Start.

Thanks,

I've never tried to do this - but you might be able to call the iwwft_instantiator_cgi through a re-direct, href, or via opening a new window with it.

Failing that - you could write your own instantiation screen, collect the data, and then run iwwft_compile.ipl with the data (or iwmodelc for WFM's perhaps)

iw_store

Thanks Ghoti,

I will try to accomplish this. I will go through this for more information. If you know anything extra like how can I distigwish the instanation form of different wft files and and on submit of that form How can I invoke concerned workflow Please help me with that.

I thought of this, to avoid I posted this thread to know other ways like the one you gave above.

It's actually documented and supported functionality.

See Interwoven® User Interface Customization Guide, URL Commands, Workflow URL Commands.
Command "newjob" will give you either WF chooser screen or a particular template screen if "iw_template_file" is set

iw_store

Heh - nice catch - I completely forgot about the CCI URLs ...

Thank you both of you. It's solved for me.
