Loading ...Till siebel 7.5 the only method know to invoke workflows were
- Runtime Events in start step of workflow
- Business Service
- Business Component Script
- Workflow Policies
But from Siebel 7.7 ownwards there is one more method by which we can invoke a workflow. That way is Siebel business Component user property. You can ‘Named Methodn‘ user property in a BC which can invoke a workflow where n is increment to the last named method user property defined on that BC.
Name: Named Method
Value:[Event Name] , “INVOKESVC”, , “Workflow Process Manager”, “RunProcess”, ‘ProcessName’,[Name of the Workflows] , ‘RowId’, [Row Id Value]Example The below mentioned will invoke a workflow named ‘Example Workflow’ when a new record is created in Example BC.
Name: Named Method 1
Value: “New Record”, “INVOKESVC”, “Example”, “Workflow Process Manager”, “RunProcess”, “‘ProcessName’”, “Example Wrokflow”, “‘RowId’”, “[Id]”
Hope this post helps you. If yes, Please post your comments.

Hai
what u have explained about named method is very good and helpful to me.But one question in my mind is Named method used only to invoke a workflow
Chaitanya, thanks for posting a comment. Named method property can be used for invoking business services and also to enable button without use of CanInvoke Scripting. Will be adding a full post explaining Name Method User Property soon. So come back.
Thanks, this website broaden my siebel views,that i didn’t study from Bookshelf.

Hi, We are trying to Invoke a WF on click of a button, using the user property. But always getting Generic SSA NOTOK error !! (what is it ??)
I hv created a button “Invoke_WF” and have two user prpoperties as follows
1. CanInvokeMethod: Invoke_WF
VALUE = TRUE
2. Named Method: Invoke_WF
VALUE = ‘INVOKESVC’, ‘Workflow Process Manager’, ‘RunProcess’, ‘”ProcessName”‘, ‘”Addition_WF”‘
Any ideas / suggestions are welcom !
TIA
Rahul
Generic SSA Not OK Error comes if there is some problem in the configuration.
Try to invoke a simple script throught his button and if you still get error that would mean that there is problem in you BC such as a calculated field having wrong expression or may be some problem in the configuration of this button.
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
