Return type:

Progress.BPM.Process class

Access:

Applies to:

Progress.BPM.UserSession class

 

Syntax 

StartProcess( INPUT TemplateName AS CHARACTER)   StartProcess( INPUT TemplateName AS CHARACTER,   INPUT dsTemplateArray AS Progress.BPM.DataSlotTemplate EXTENT )

TemplateName

The name of the template for the process that is to be started.

dsTemplateArray

An array of DataSlotTemplate objects used to initialize values when the process is started.

If you call the one-parameter overload of the method, the SBM Server starts the process with the dataslots set to the initial values specified in the process template. If you call the two-parameter overload of the method, you can override some or all of those initial values.

If the method succeeds, it returns a reference to a Progress.BPM.Process object. The Progress.BPM.Process object is a snapshot of the process instance created on the SBM Server.

If the method fails, it raises a BPM error.
