Running process flows in SF

Question

I am working on implementing the Reporting service Thinkstore solution.

I am struggling with two things:

How can I run this process flow in my Software Factory environment?

The custom schedule is not running. Is this normal for SF branches?

There is no API endpoint I can call. Should I turn on deep linking? But this is not possible for generated process flows, so I could try to do it via a DB query or I would need to copy all the dynamic code from this base model and add it manually with adjustments.

If I want to trigger this process flow outside of the schedule

Would it work if I migrate it to a subflow? And have it as both a scheduled system flow and a subflow that can be started by a task?

Or the other option is through an API call which has the same problem as point nr 1.

So, some general advice for testing system flows and some advice for how I could start a generated process flow would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hey Robin,

You can also start process flows from the process flow monitor in the universal GUI debug center, although im not sure if you will run into the same issue where you cant run it because it is generated.

Also i am surprised the generated process flow doesnt have an endpoint, calling it in postman with something like this doesn’t work?

​@dennis.spieringOh so that is what this is for!Thanks bro I didn’t knowAlso, it does seem there is an endpoint now, so I don’t know why I couldn’t find it at first. Maybe I wrote it wrong or it wasn’t updated yet
