How to Start a Case/Process in IBM BPM/BAW Using REST API

  • 1.  How to Start a Case/Process in IBM BPM/BAW Using REST API

    Posted yesterday
    Hi Community,
     
    I'm currently working on an integration where I need to start a case or process instance in IBM BPM (or IBM BAW) using REST APIs. I've gone through some of the documentation, but I'd appreciate some guidance or a working example to understand the best approach.
     
    Here are a few questions I'm trying to clarify:
     
    1. What is the correct REST endpoint to start a process or case?
    2. What type of authentication is required (e.g., Basic Auth, OAuth)?
    3. What should the request body look like when passing input variables?
    4. Are there any required headers or specific configurations I need to consider?
    5. Any recommended tools or methods to test the API (e.g., Postman, curl)?
     
    I want to trigger a BPD or case solution from an external application.
     
    If anyone has a sample request or documentation link that demonstrates this clearly, that would be a huge help!
     
    Thanks in advance for your support.
