Invoking a workflow (*.ipm) through a custom menu item

Hi All,

**************************
* TeamSite 6.7.1 SP1
* Solaris 9
* Workflow Modeler 1.0.0.1
*************************

We are currently trying to invoke a workflow using Workflow Modeler (v1.0.0.1) through a custom menu item within TeamSite. Is there something equivalent to iwwft_instantiator.cgi? If someone has done this or can point me to some documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
James

I think you need to use iwmodelc - which is documented in the WFM manual (but not the CLT manual). Interestingly enough though, on my present Solaris 10 installation of 671 SP1 P2 - the program is protected with mode bits 744 and owned by root (a few other programs are similarly protected thusly) and so it cannot be executed by anyone other than root ... I'm going to open a case with Support to find out whether that's what it should be (I don't think so....)

Hi, thanks for the reply. Have you actually successfully invoked a workflow using this CLT within a script? If you can please post your reply from support once you hear back from them, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have not tried using it.
I do not currently have a need to use it.
My support case is only with respect to the mode bits on the programs -- did you check to see if your mode bits differ? If so, my case will hold nothing of value for you.

Hi,

I checked my mode bits and they are set to "555".

Thanks,

555 means that you should be able to execute the CLT - and thus has nothing to do with what I'm seeing in my current customer's environment, which is what my support case is for.

At this point - I suggest reading the manuals for the CLT, searching the forums for others who may have used (or tried using) the CLT, and doing some of your own testing / trial-and-error runs.
