GOS Start WF

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Jeffrey,
Have you checked the user is a possible agent of the workflow itself?
That might be what's stopping you.
 
Other thoughts: Is the business object instance a mandatory import parameter
of your workflow.

   We don't want to have a form filled out by the User, we just want
them to trigger the WF from the Bus. Object Instance. I shouldn't
need to create a Start Form to have the WF listed in GOS, because I
currently have another WF that is listed in the drop down GOS 'Start
WF' list just as earlier versions, without Start Forms. My way of
testing if the Bus. Obj. & Tranx match up is going to the Bus. Obj.
entering & testing an instance, & if one of the Std. Method's is
Dispaly or Edit, etc. I test it. When the Method Tranx executes, if
there's a GOS obtainable there, I assume they're related. Is that
assumption wrong?
 
Thanx,
