SpawnWithParametersEx

Creates a workflow instance from a model, and invoke the method StartWithParameters or SimulateWithParameters on this instance.


            Number 
            instanceId = SpawnWithParametersEx (
            String       
            workflowId,

            Boolean      
            simulation,

            XML          
            parameters
            

      )

Parameters

workflowId

Identifier or internal name of the workflow template.

simulation

If true, the newly created wotkflow is started in simulation mode.

parameters

Parameters to pass to the instance. These parameters will become the instance variables of the workflow. This argument is an XML element whose name must be variables and may only include attributes. Example:

<variables foo="abc" bar="def">

The JavaScript scripts within the workflow may access these variables from the instance.vars object:


    var foo = instance.vars.foo   // "abc"
    var bar = instance.vars.bar   // "def"

Return value(s)

instanceId

Identifier of the instance created from the template.

Remarks

The command is executed in asynchronous mode and does not have an immediate effect after the return of the method. The workflow is started with the calling operators' account, except if a specific login is linked to the template in the workflow login table, in which case this login is used.
