Invoking a Workflow Process from a Script

Workflow processes can be invoked programmatically from a script using Siebel VB or Siebel eScript. By using scripts, workflow processes can be invoked from anywhere in the Siebel application or from external programs.

NOTE:  Invoking a workflow process from a script is done in synchronous mode.

When invoking a process from a script, you can specify that the process run either on the server or in the object manager. To run a process on the server, call the service Workflow Process Manager (Server Request). To run a process in the application object manager, call the service Workflow Process Manager.

See the following sample scripts for examples of how to invoke a workflow process from a script:
