Hi Sudheendra,

You need MDM Java 2 API SP 5 or above for this. You can obtain the latest JAR files from service.sap.com.

Dear Prashant,

Thanks for the detailed code on how to execute a MDM Workflow using Java APIs.

If you could also post the code to get Workflow ID, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Create the connection using the simplefactory or ConnectionPoolFactory

Create the user Session with the repository.

The following code should work for triggering a workflow when the workflowID is known.

If u dont know the workflowID, then let me know, I shall post the code.

CreateWorkflowJobCommand objCreateWorkflowJobCommand = new CreateWorkflowJobCommand(objConnection.getConnectionAccessor());
		objCreateWorkflowJobCommand.setSession(objConnection.getUserSessionID());
		objCreateWorkflowJobCommand.setRecordIds(new RecordId[]{new RecordId(strRecordID)});
		objCreateWorkflowJobCommand.setWorkflowId(objWorkFlowID);
		try 
		{
			objCreateWorkflowJobCommand.execute();
		} 
		catch (CommandException e1) 
		{
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e1.printStackTrace();
			throw e1;
		}

Best Regards,
