[Java] Initiate Workflow

Hi,

When trying to initiate a two step workflow in Content Server 16.2.4 using Java. I am getting an error "ApplicationData does not exist, cannot be updated". But the same workflow can be intiated through a C# client using webservices. Any pointers to what could be missing?

Alternatively, can someone share a sample of workflow initation using java/webservices.

Regards,

Hari

I have done this in Java before and I had example source code but I found some excerpts here

Usually, the Java and C# should not be that difficult

Do you need to use SOAP or its newer?: better thing the REST (developer.opentext.com)

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Hi Appu,

Thanks for reply. I am able to get the process definition but when using it to intiiate the workflow it gives me the above mentioned error. I am using SOAP. Due to some other existing functionalities, I will have to continue using SOAP.

The working sample was just to identify what could possibly be going wrong on my side.

What I would do in your situation is to run your Livelink Server Connected to where you source your WSDL's

https://appukili.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/common-debug-protocol/

I expect the inArgs to tell you what your code sent the OutArgs to tell you the error. Sometimes

just going to the WF map using the GUI and observing what you end up filling in that screen and see if you can relate

to the data structure, you are packaging many times if it works from the GUI you would realize your mistake and adjust your code.

That's usually the first method i

Sometimes if that log doesn't reveal you may have to resort to looking at the code or seek OT help. I dwelve in Livelink code so

I am able to figure out many things but try the approach I said to see if you can figure it out.
