| I am trying to query a WorkItem using the ExecutionService.queryWorkItems(String, String, Integer) method. Are there any good examples of filter strings anywhere? If I can, I would like to capture a specific WorkItem using the PersistentOid. |

there is a method to get a workitem directly via PersistentOID, there is no query necessary.

Try:
Integer intNum = new Integer(10);
queryWorkItem("Name LIKE '*'", "NAME", intNum) |

| Thanks John and Jimmy. John, I haven't actually tried PersistentOid(), but the documentation states that this method creates a representation of the WorkItem and is not able to access the Workflow Server. Once I have retrieved the WorkItem, I want to be able to apply the start() method. Maybe there is a better way to do this. Any suggestions? |

Kathy:
If you access the wi using PersistentOID from the Execution Server object you will most certainly be able to start the item.
GOOD LUCK

| Thanks John, it works just as you said. And thanks for your quick response, it was greatly appreciated. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again as our project progresses. |

Hello there,
Would you mind explaining in more detail how it can be achieved as I am new to MQWF?
Specifically, we are using the Web-client. I would like to allow a user to create a new process-instance and then automatically kick-start the work item (without going through the work item page again). Seems that this thread has somehow provided a solution. Could anyone explain which API should be called?
Thanks for your help in advance! |

Starting process instance and starting work items are different things.
You can using createAndStart API to create and then start the instance. And a work item can be automatically executed if you define the start condition to "automatic" in build time and you have a valid user logon to run time. |

One way to do this is to override the createAndStartInstance command using your own custom handler. Once the instance is started, query workitems using a filter of "PROCESS_NAME = <the name of your instance>". From that list, checkout the item you want, and pass control to the Viewer to render the page for the workitem.
This assumes that the process starter will already be the owner of the workitem, but that can be arranged in the process template. |
