Passing a Constant from a Workflow Policy Action to a Workflow Process

The Run Workflow Process program can pass a constant from a workflow policy action to a workflow process.

To pass a constant from a workflow policy action into a workflow process

1. In Siebel Tools, navigate to the Workflow Policy Program list, and then query the Name property for Run Workflow Process.
2. Navigate to the Workflow Policy Program Arguments list.
3. Add a new argument.
4. Choose the File menu, and then the Save menu item.

   For example, add a new argument with the Name property set to IOName. Make sure the Visible property contains a check mark.

5. In the Workflow Policy Program list, click the Run Workflow Process object.
6. Choose the Tools menu, and then the Compile Selected Object menu item.
7. Click Compile in the Object Compiler dialog.

   The Siebel client displays this argument in the Arguments list in the Workflow Policy Actions view.

8. Set the default value.

   The default value varies according to IOName.

9. Open the Process Designer for the workflow process to which Siebel CRM must pass the constant.
10. In the MVPW, create a new record with the Name argument set to the same name defined in the argument in Step 3.

    For example, Name must be the same as IOName. For more information, see Using Process Properties.

11. Call the workflow policy.
