Hi there!
How can I start a workitem using mq workflow API?
I just create and start process instance associated using "createAndStartInstance2" method.
I notice that workitem is created correctly and is in ready state, but it doesn't start, althougth it should start automatically.
How can I proceed?
Ilaria. |

My guess is that if this workitem is Autostart, you probably dont have a PEA running.

How can I check that PEA is running?
I made some progress and I tried to start the workitem using "start" method in the following way...
WorkList[] worklist = service.queryWorkLists(); //service is an instance of ExecutionService class
WorkItem[] workitem = worklist[0].queryWorkItems();
workitem[0].start();
...but when I verified the workitem status, I noticed that it was in error state. Where is my fault? Where do I make mistakes? How can I solve them?
Thanks Ilaria. |

Have a look at some of the IBM supplied samples... Your questions are all very basic, and can be answered if you look at the doc and the sample code.

Ilaria,
1. Activities will start automatically only if
- the activity is specified to start automatic AND
- the program is specified to run unattended
2. If you have the opportunity, use the standard web client in parallel to
monitor your programming efforts. It will unveal the reason why your
program activity is in state InError. Otherwise you will have to go the
(sometimes) hard way to do the error analysis at your own.
You may find additional help in the FAQ entry titeled

Unfortunately IBM's server currently seems to be down so I cannot
post a link, here.
3. As John mentioned, download SupportPac WA03 that contains
programming examples and read the Programming Guide. |

Hello,
I had a simular problem and I solved it by starting the scheduler server (proces) of workflow. You can start it via fmcautil.

Actually, this has got nothing to do with scheduling server. It is incidental that your problem was solved because of sched server or your problem might be different. |
