Triggering workflows from a Service task

[MaheshkumarSundaram]

Hi @ralphhanna,

Say I have a Service Task in appServices.ts which would trigger new workflows automatically based on the current workflow's data.

How to achieve this? Thanks.

Hi @MaheshkumarSundaram

the service task would something like this:

    async DummyService1(input, context) {
        context.item.data.service1Result = 'Service1Exec';
        let gdt=context.execution.instance.data;
        let idt=context.item.data;
        console.log('global data:',gdt,'item data',idt);

        context.appDelegate.server.engine.start("Buy Used Car",{caseId:gdt.caseId})
        
    }

@ralphhanna,

Thanks. That works.

But what's difference between context.execution.instance.data and context.item.data?
Because the console.log is the same for both?

In some cases it is the same, but for subprocesses or loops it will be different.
context.execution.instance.data is the for the root
