startWorkflow

startWorkflow

Starts an instance of a workflow. You can run multiple instances of a workflow at the same time. You can use a parameter file for the workflow or a parameter set.
The infacmd wfs startWorkflow command uses the following syntax: 
startWorkflow

<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name

<-ServiceName|-sn> service_name

<-UserName|-un> user_name

<-Password|-pd> password

[<-SecurityDomain|-sdn> security_domain]

[<-ResilienceTimeout|-re> timeout_period_in_seconds]

<-Application|-a> application_name

<-Workflow|-wf> workflow_name

[<-Wait|-w> true|false]

[<-ParameterFile|-pf> parameter_file_path]

[<-ParameterSet|-ps> parameter_set_name]

[<-OperatingSystemProfile|-osp> operating_system_profile_name]
The command returns the workflow instance ID.
The following table describes infacmd wfs startWorkflow options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-DomainName
-dn
domain_name
Required. Name of the Informatica domain. You can set the domain name with the -dn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you set a domain name with both methods, the -dn option takes precedence.
-ServiceName
-sn
service_name
Required. Name of the Data Integration Service to run the workflow. The application that contains the workflow must be deployed to a Data Integration Service.
-UserName
-un
user_name
Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication. User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.
Optional if the domain uses Kerberos authentication. To run the command with single sign-on, do not set the user name. If you set the user name, the command runs without single sign-on.
-Password
-pd
password
Required if you specify the user name. Password for the user name. The password is case sensitive. You can set a password with the -pd option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_PASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -pd option takes precedence.
-SecurityDomain
-sdn
security_domain
Required if the domain uses LDAP authentication. Optional if the domain uses native authentication or Kerberos authentication. Name of the security domain to which the domain user belongs. You can set a security domain with the -sdn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DOMAIN. If you set a security domain name with both methods, the -sdn option takes precedence. The security domain name is case sensitive.
If the domain uses native or LDAP authentication, the default is Native. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, the default is the LDAP security domain created during installation. The name of the security domain is the same as the user realm specified during installation.
-ResilienceTimeout
-re
timeout_period_in_seconds
Optional. Amount of time in seconds that infacmd attempts to establish or re-establish a connection to the domain. You can set the resilience timeout period with the -re option or the environment variable INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT. If you set the resilience timeout period with both methods, the -re option takes precedence.
-Application
-a
application_name
Required. Name of the application that contains the workflow.
-Workflow
-wf
workflow_name
Required. Name of the workflow to start.
-Wait
-w
true|false
Optional. Indicates whether infacmd waits for the workflow instance to complete before returning to the shell or command prompt. If true, infacmd returns to the shell or command prompt after the workflow instance completes. You cannot run subsequent commands until the workflow instance completes. If false, infacmd returns to the shell or command prompt immediately. You do not have to wait for the workflow instance to complete before running the next command. Default is false.
-ParameterFile
-pf
parameter_file_path
Optional. Name and path of the parameter file.
Do not enter a parameter file name and a parameter set name in the same command.
-ParameterSet
-ps
parameter_set_name
Optional. Name of parameter set to use at run time. The parameter set option overrides any parameter set deployed with the application.
Do not enter a parameter file name and a parameter set name in the same command.
-OperatingSystemProfile
-osp
operating_system_profile_name
Optional. Name of the operating system profile under which the workflow runs.
