Hi,

Does anyone know how to start a process from Webdynpro?

Hi Micheal,

Processes are exposed as Web Service when deployed onto the runtime. You can find them in the WS Navigator. Please note that the WS Name is the one that you define in the Process Composer. By default, the WS is called "DefaultService".

Having this WS, you can call it from any WD Application.

David,

How does the "DefaultService" WS know which process to start?

Hi Michael,

There is one WS per process definition. Please make sure to name the Web Service Operation used in the start/end event accordingly otherwise it will be tedious to look for the right WS.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to change the default service interface "DefaultService" to another name in the process composer?

It seems very confusing with all the deployed processes sharing the same service interface name ("DefautService") and namespace ("sap.com/glx/").

Thanks.

Hi Julius,

It is possible if you select another service already available in your project. You can either reuse an existing one or model your own that fits your purpose.

Hope this helps.
