Hi,
I put the <processTemplateCreateandStartInstance> message to the EXEXMLINPUTQ of WF Server and I get a response back to the 'Reply2Q' specified in the MQMD section of the Input Message.
In the response message I always get the <procInstState>running<\processInstState> message. I am trying to understand if WF ever puts a <ProcInstState>finished<\ProcessInstState> message.
Is it possible to get the 'finished' message ( after the completion of the Instance) instead of a 'running' message, by changing any configuration parameters.
-Laze. |

Laze:
What you are seeing is the documented affect. The only thing you might be able to do is to use the ExecuteProcess XML message.
This message will wait to return until your process has completed. However, unless your process is all automatic, this may not be desireable.

Thanks John. That is what I thought, but my confusion is from an XML example shown in the 'Programming Guide' on page 612 of V332 manual. This example raised considerable doubt.
Please take a look and let me know.
-Thnx Laze |

I see what you mean.... I have never gotten anything back other than "Running" in the <ProcInstState>
I guee this might be one for the developers to answer.

Yes John, I never got anything other than 'Running' either. I looked all over the place to see if I can do any setting to get that effect (like a synchronous/asynchronous).

Hi John,
I asked this question on the IBM workflow newsgroup and got back a reply saying the example is wrong and they will change it in their next documentation release.
Abstract: I should not get the 'finished' message for CreateandstartInstance.
-Thnx Laze |
