starting a particular instance

Hi,

If you know the process instance ID then using messaging you can Start / Restart any node in that process. Your target process should be configured with a receive message node .

From an Interface click start a process Instance that sends a message to your target process instances receive message node .

Hi Bhargavi,

Only sending the message to process model (i.e. to create new instance ) is deprecated we have to use start process smart service instead, where as sending message to already active instance is not deprecated. Refer here docs.appian.com/.../Send_Message_to_Process_Model.html

Hi Bhargavi,

You have a process model and some of the instances are running. Now you want to use send message to trigger only particular instances of that process model.

I believe when you are triggering the specific Instances means, at run time only you need to get the Destination Process instances id's and trigger the further Execution of those Process instances with Send Message event.

In the above scenario you are picking up the selected Process instance Id's based on a condition. Now have that condition present in a DB table.

Now periodically run a process with the help of timer event, pull the matching rows from the DB where your condition satisfies:

If rows are not present then you can end the process here.

If rows are coming up, then you design the same work flow that is done in the receive message event PM.

Once you start the work flow Make sure the existing row/ Matching should be updated to inactive so that we can avoid re triggering of the instances.
