Usage: ostart [options] name [version] [mode] [option=value]

This program allows the user to easily start execution instances of a workflow and optionally set options on the instance. If the version argument is not given on the command-line, the latest version of the workflow will be assumed. If the mode value is not given on the command-line, then the mode is assumed to be OMQ::WM_Normal.

For example, to start an execution instance of the latest version of workflow CREATE-ACCOUNT:

unixprompt% ostart CREATE-ACCOUNT

Note

This method provides a user-friendly interface to the Qorus API method:

omq.system.start-workflow()

Be aware that this program is delivered as a Qore-language script, and, as such, requires either the $OMQ_DIR or $QORE_MODULE_DIR environment variables to be set to find the Qorus client module, if not located in the default location.
