REST Workflow Scheduling

brycedeutsche — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:24:16 GMT

Hello

I am initiating WFA workflows via REST and this is working great.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

</userInputValues>

</workflowInput>

However, I have noticed there is jobStatus field in the output

<jobStatus>COMPLETED</jobStatus>

<scheduleType>Immediate</scheduleType>

I presume I can submit the job as DELAYED and provide a PlannedExecutionTime - but can anyone supply me with the REST input/format to post this instruction to my workflow?

Thanks

For delayed execution of workflow following element can be added before </workflowInput>

Here date format is "mm/dd/yy HH:MM AM/PM"

When I am trying this format it gives error as

Response Code: 400. Error executing workflow: Inv

alidInputException{Message: Got incorrect date and time format '"09/25/16 09:47
PM"'. Correct format 'M/d/yy h:mm a', for example: 9/3/16 9:47 PM, Cause: null}

So I think correct format should be M/d/yy h:mm a when there is only one digit in the date or time.

It is solved. The format was not a problem. I put the date format in quotes. So it was not taking. Now I am able to schedule the workflow.

@Rutul

Use the below doc and you would never have to worry about manually creating User-Input XML body for any workflow with any number of user-input of any type. It will get you your XML within seconds.

Since its code generated, the user mistakes like you were doing will all get eliminated.

Yes.. I had referred the REST API document link from Support Links in WFA. I got XML format from there for every REST API URL and successfully Scheduled the workflow using REST API of WFA.
