does not present the instance ID of a process running a WF

posted on January 26, 2021

We are starting a process from wf in an internal forms server based on the data captured in an external forms server, as we cannot pass the documents attached to that new started process, we are trying to make them consult it in a Frame with Weblink, For this we are writing to the repository the files in a folder with the name of the intance ID, we use a WF that we send to execute after saving the documents, in this we pass the data from one process to another. This WF is not bringing us the Instance ID, so we can generate the weblink URL because we cannot search for it in the repository because it does not present us with the instance ID
We have a Track Tokens for those variables and they come in 0.

 

Regards

Is the Workflow being started from the Forms process from the external Server?
Have you checked the "Started by LF Forms" option in your Workflow Properties

If so you would get the additional Menu "Input Parameters" which would give you the BP Instance ID for the forms process that started the Workflow

I have always had to generate a GUID and put it in a hidden field on the starting form because workflow can only view field variables of forms, not system variables.

If your first process happens to have a user task, then you can pass the generated instance ID (which is not generated until after the starting form is submitted) to a field. Now workflow can see it and you do not have to create your own GUID.
