do-start-workflow

Starts the workflow specified by workflow-id for the recipient specified by <arg-dn> on the User Application server specified by the URL using credentials specified by ID and <arg-password>. The recipient must be an LDAP format DN of an object in the directory served by the User Application server. The additional arguments to the workflow may be specified by named <arg-string> elements. The number of the strings and the names used are dependent on the workflow to be started.

Remark

There are some names that have special meaning and are available regardless of the workflow being started.

:InitiatorOverrideDN: The LDAP format DN of the initiator of the workflow, if other than the User used to authenticate.
:CorrelationID: An identifier used to correlate related workflows.

If any type of error occurs while starting the workflow, the error string is available to the enclosing policy in the local variable named error.do-start-workflow. Otherwise that local variable is unavailable.
