Workflow call



Workflow_call

Description

This function will allow you to run a specific workflow or tabulation script, including feeding it with parameters in the process.

The function will throw an exception when:

• It is passed an invalid number of parameters
• It is passed invalid data types for any of its parameters
• It is passed empty parameters
• It is passed an invalid workflow resource id
• It is run by a user who does not have at least observer access to the workflow.

This function is useful in regards to:

• Returning values from a workflow that you need in another workflow
• Returning a chart from a tabulation script that you need in another workflow
• Returning the error stacktrace from another workflow

The following limitations apply to this function

• It cannot call a workflow which is set to run in batch mode
• It cannot run to a call depth of more than 10 (meaning that it cannot call a workflow that calls a workflow that calls a workflow ... to more than the 10th level)
