IPA Triggering a Process by Service Definition

IPA Service definitions can be used to cause or trigger a process to run.

If your site has an event for which work units are delayed or not running for any reason, you can trigger a process to run using the Service Definition in Process Server Administrator.

A process, which is created using Infor Process Designer, routes and tracks the sign-offs that need to occur. In this case, a service, which is delivered with Lawson applications, triggers the launching of the process. It is also possible to create your own service.

1. Access the Process Server Administrator and select Scheduling > By Service Definition.
   
2. From the displayed list of services, double-click the name of the service that you want to trigger the process.
3. Specify this information:

Work Title

Specify a name for the work item.

Filter Key

If filters have been enabled for users and tasks associated with this service, select an option.

Filter Value

If you are using a filter key, specify a filter value.

For example, if you selected City for a Filter Key, then Chicago might be a valid value.

Apps Key

Specify an application key.

Apps Value

Specify a value for the selected apps key.

1. Optionally, on the Criteria tab, specify up to three levels of criteria.
2. If variables are enabled for the service, the Variables tab is active.
3. If links to documents or other information is available for use with this service, the Related Links tab is active.
4. When you are finished defining the circumstances, click Actions > Save.
