workflow invoked via custom menu item

mogoo

To invoke a workflow via a custom menu item, I'm guessing you call on iwwft_instantiator.cgi???...

So, in iw.cfg, do I need to call a custom cgi which then calls iwwft_instantiator.cgi and passes the name of the wft, or is there any way to call iwwft_instantiator.cgi and pass the wft directly from iw.cfg?

You have to have a script called in iw.cfg and from that script you can call iwwft_instantiator.cgi. Not only the workflow name you have to pass other post parameters too.

An ex:

<FORM method="POST" action="http://calypso/iw-bin/iwwft_instantiator.cgi">
<input type='hidden' name='iw_first_time' value='true'/>

<input type='hidden' name='iw_desc' value=''/>

<input type='hidden' name='iw_use_defaults' value='false'/>

<input type='hidden' name='iw_session' value='NotUsed_anymore'/>
<input type='hidden' name='iw_home' value='/usr/iw-home'/>
<input type='hidden' name='iw_branch' value='/default/main/support'/>
<input type='hidden' name='iw_role' value='editor'/>
<input type='hidden' name='comment' value=''/>
<input type='hidden' name='session' value='52616e646f6d49566567e914dc3f98b3729be703dfd96e29ff1b482e63d49feac99ccb0d03aeccaf7e8b1243cfb3d6e943f4be9b33548722'/>
<input type='hidden' name='iw_template_name' value='Oasis'/>
<input type='hidden' name='comment' value=''/>
<input type='hidden' name='iw_workarea' value='/default/main/support/WORKAREA/1'/>
<input type='hidden' name="iw_template_file" value=""/>

session string can be a constant number.
