The "show definitions" command gave the following result:id: jbpm$1 , n

The command "start jbpm$5" gave the following output:

var {}jbpm$5 not found.

The arguments to the start command are the list of workflow parameter values you wish to pass to the workflow.

The following cmd allows you to choose which workflow is started…

use definition jbpm$5‍

So, to start the adhoc workflow you can issue:


ok> use definition jbpm$5
ok> var bpm:assignee person admin
ok> var bpm:package package 3
ok> start bpm:assignee bpm:package
‍‍‍‍‍‍

You can get help on all the commands by issuing:


ok> help
‍‍‍

Afterwards I tried to apply a workflow to a space in the document management UI. I defined a content rule in my home space that starts a workflow when a content is added. I successfully completed all the steps of the content rule wizard. It did not ask me which workflow to apply, but I do not know whether this is normal or not.

There was a bug in the 1.4 preview which exposed the 'Start Workflow' action in the Web UI. It shouldn't be listed and is fixed in the latest drops.

To start a workflow via rules, refer to:
