Is it possible to skip a workflow in a Forms process when running in Test mode?

asked on August 14

I only see options for replacing task assignments, emails, and skipping save to repository tasks. It would also be beneficial to be able to skip any workflows that are in the Forms process while testing.

You have to flag the workflow that is is being started by Forms.

Check this box:

That will enable a new group of tokens called "Input Parameters" that has a bunch of additional details about the Forms instance.

The latest version of workflow knows if the form invoking it was started in test mode so in the workflow you can just conditionally exit at the beginning of the workflows you want to skip.

I can pass this along to the team though if they don't see this themselves!

Oh yeah...now I seem to remember hearing about that at the conference.  I'll look into that for now but I think it would be more beneficial to have that option in the Forms test rules.

What, exactly, do I look for in the Workflow? I'm assuming I need to look at the Business Process Variables, but I don't see anything that would seem to indicate whether it's in Test mode or not.
