2. In the Select Organization drop-down list, select the organization that contains the workflow you want to start. This list displays all the organizations to which you belong.

3. In the Select Workflow to Start list box, select the workflow you want to start. The workflows that appear in this list represent all available workflow template definitions that you can start manually. Such workflows are defined as active and with a manual start at workflow design time.

4. Click the OK button to start the workflow. The processing that occurs during startup depends on the definition of the workflow created at design time. For more information, see Using the WebLogic Integration Studio.
