Hello,

 

I am attempting to trigger a workflow via a database task, so that I can schedule the database task to run daily. My end goal is to have a workflow that gets triggered every day. It does not need parameters.

Is this possible with FND_WORKFLOW_CONNECTION_API.START_WORKFLOW? I am creating a database task to use this method. I am not sure what it’s asking for, for its parameters. Would anyone be so kind to provide an example of the formatting this is expecting?

Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Bryan

This does not work, IFS Cloud does not support this. You can get around this by scheduling a report to run daily, then creating a custom event and event action to trigger when the report with that unique scheduledID gets printed. This allows your workflow to get triggered on the same schedule when the report prints off
