Question

Initiate a Workflow from a Command Line

Laserfiche Workflow Version 9

(Reposting since Forum post did not carry over to new Answers site)

I have a batch file that runs an external import process that needs to initiate a workflow when it is complete.

The process imports nearly 90,000 files and the workflow can't start until the import is complete.

Is it possible to initiate a workflow from a DOS Command Line?

Thanks,

Greg,

The Laserfiche Workflow 9 SDK shipped with a command line utility to start workflows. It was part of the sample utilities if I recall correctly. I read the text file that is associated with the utility and I don't see any copyright information so I believe it is OK to provide it to you. It is attached as a zip file. I have not used it but the code behind it in the SDK documentation seems straight forward.

Hope that helps!

Hmmm. No attachment. I have the SDK and found the code you're referencing. I'll take a look at that.

Thanks,

Greg,

It would appear that the upload utility will not accept a zip file attachment. I did a quick search on the support website and it apparently is a Workflow 8.3 (not 9.0) SDK utility. Here is the link to the download site;

FYI - I published a quick workflow in my 9.02 system and the command line utility successfully started it.

All 8.3 SDK and custom activity related documentation and samples should apply and work for versions 8.3, 9.0, and 9.1 of Workflow.
