jobid empty REST API ( sometimes ) - workflow executed correctly

trentino123 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:54:56 GMT

Calling WFA from POSH using REST API. Finding frequent timeouts to get a job ID when executing a workflow.

Write-Host "Executing workflow : $workflowname"
$jobid = $wfa.executeWorkflow (...)

The workflow is executed fine, but very often the $jobid shows an empty variable.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Default time-out for a Web Service Proxy object ( $wfa) is 100 sec ( 100000 ms ). You can modify it as:

# Making it 500 sec.

$wfa.Timeout = 500000

## Now call Execute workflow method

$jobid = $wfa.executeWorkflow (...)
