The STARTPROCESS workflow application lets you launch a new request with the corresponding parameters. It provides a simple solution for inter-process communications.
There are three ways to use STARTPROCESS to launch a new request:

Process name with process version

You can define other parameters as needed in the workflow process to launch; for example COMPANY (text type IN parameter), e.g. ACME_COMPANY.
