Execution of workflows and passing dynamic properties to it using API

[Venkat Lanka]

we have a scenario to execute the automic workflow which has dynamic properties through API. Now , we can able to execute the workflow through API but cant able to pass the dynamic properties for workflow through API.

 

Example i tried:

curl -D- -u   -d '{ "object_name": "RM.DEV.TEST", "execution_option": "execute"}, "inputs":{ "LANKA#": "{12233}" } }' -H "Content-Type: application/son" -X POST http://hostname:8088/ae/api/v1/200/executions

I use a powershell method for this interaction, but we pass multiple values to a SCRI object as the initial object called.  We also have a prompset attached to the script object that matched the variables we are passing, although that's not necessary if you have a READ to pull the variables from the buffer.  You'll still have to set up a PUBLISH or a PSET I believe to pass them on to any activated objects, or set the activated object up to look at the activator and GET_PUBLISHED_VALUE.

Hi Venkat

This works for me for AE-workflows that has a Promptset with two entry fields (URL, Name).

Windows
curl --location --request POST http://myAEserver.local:8088/ae/api/v1/100/executions -u USR/GRP:xxx --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw "{ ""object_name"": ""MY.JOBP"", ""execution_option"": ""execute"", ""inputs"": { ""URL#"": ""http://www.broadcom.com"", ""NAME#"":""Windows"" } }"

Linux
curl --location --request POST 'http://myAEserver.local:8088/ae/api/v1/100/executions' -u USR/GRP:xxx --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{ "object_name": "MY.JOBP", "execution_option": "execute", "inputs": { "URL#": "http://www.broadcom.com", "NAME#":"Unix", } }'
