How to trigger the BPM process from WD Application

[Sharathmg]

Hello All,

I have a simple business process with two ui activities. I am able to start the process from NWA -> Process Repository.

But, I need to start the process from the application. Here is the requirement:

User opens the application. ON completion, the BPM process for approval needs to be triggered. How do i access/obtain process?

If I need to call a particular task in process, How do i do that?

Kindly assist.

Thank you.

Regards,

Sharath

The blog was very helpful. On testing the service in WSNavigator, I obtain a popup for login information. It does not accept any user details and finally returns a fault string "User Guest (Guest, ) is not allowed to start a process: demo.sap.com/asset_req_process/Pool/asset_approval_process_c79488c4415f49c7f1654c9f4fd3e98b</faultstring>"

Have I missed any configuration?

Kindly assist.

Based on other forum thread, I set the guest user with BPEM user rights.

But, now the error recieved is : Invalid transport binding settingsRead timed out.

Is there anything more to do ?
