Performs a start action for the specified process units and optionally attaches documents. The vbApplyToAllPeriods argument determines whether the action applies to one or to multiple process units.

Syntax

<HFMwManageProcess>.Start2 (bstrScenario, bstrYear, bstrPeriod, bstrEntity, bstrParent, bstrValue, vbApplyToAllPeriods, bstrComment, varabstrPaths, varabstrFiles)

Argument	Description
bstrScenario	The label of the Scenario dimension member for the process units. Input argument. String subtype.
bstrYear	The label of the Year dimension member for the process units. Input argument. String subtype.
bstrPeriod	The label of the Period dimension member for the process units. Input argument. String subtype.
bstrEntity	The label of the Entity dimension member for the process units. Input argument. String subtype.
bstrParent	The label of the parent of the entity specified in the bstrEntity argument. Input argument. String subtype.
bstrValue	The label of the Value dimension member for the process units. Input argument. String subtype.
vbApplyToAllPeriods	Specifies whether the action should be applied to process units for all input periods that intersect the other specified dimension members. Pass TRUE to apply the action to all these process units, FALSE to apply the action to only the specified process unit. Input argument. Boolean subtype.
bstrComment	A user comment for the action, or an empty string if there is no comment. Input argument. String subtype.
varabstrPaths	An array of strings containing the paths in which the documents to be attached have been loaded. Folders in paths are delimited by backslashes ( \ ). This array has a one-to-one correspondence with the varabstrFiles argument’s array of filenames. Input argument.

Tip:	You can obtain a string that represents the review level by passing the return value to MapReviewLevelToString.

Example

The following example starts the specified process unit and attaches two files.

Dim iState, saPaths(1), saNames(1)
saPaths(0) = "docs"
saPaths(1) = "docs"
saNames(0) = "Audit.txt"
saNames(1) = "Comments.txt"
'cHFMProcMan is an HFMwManageProcess object reference
iState = cHFMProcMan.Start2("Budget", "2004", "August", "NewYork", _ 
  "UnitedStates","<EntityCurrency>", False, "see attachments", _ 
  saPaths, saNames)
