Start a process from a url

[omar.tahri]

Hello dear community ,

i'm looking for a solution to a specific request that i'm facing

Is there a way to execute or start a process via a specific url ? 

I want to start a process when i click on a url from an external page or tool. How can i do that ?

 

Many thanks

I've never done this myself, but I think you need to be calling the InvokeAction web-service to do this.

Some discussion here ; InvokeAction - Process WSDL (and in other threads on here)

You can call the InvokeAction web service using javascript via XMLHttpRequest within a CA PPM html portlet or an external web page.

 

From within a CA PPM portlet, you are able to get the user's session id.  From an external web page/tool you will need an account that has rights to the web service along and the process to be invoked.

 

V/r,
