Starting a Workflow Process from a Script

You can use Siebel VB or Siebel eScript to start a Workflow Process from a script. A script can start a Workflow Process from most locations in a Siebel CRM application or from a program that is external to Siebel CRM. If a Workflow Process starts from a script, then you can define it to run on the Siebel Server or in the Object Manager. A Workflow Process that starts from a script runs in synchronous mode. Note the following:

  • To run a Workflow Process on the Siebel Server, you must configure Siebel CRM to call the Workflow Process Manager (Server Request) service.

  • To run a Workflow Process in the Application Object Manager, you must configure Siebel CRM to call the Workflow Process Manager service.
