I have a requirement to start a process instance from a toolkit using a web service, I get all the data right but when I start the Process using  tw.system.startProcessByName(name, inputValues)  I get the following error  "Unkown BPD with name="processName"

How can I use tw.system.startProcessByName from a toolkit?

Hi Ivan,

I don't think you can. The IBM BPM toolkits are not designed to house stuff related to process instances for example: 
 - You can't start a process by name in toolkits nor looking for ones
 - Anything related to UCA

These things have to be used within the process apps. 

Maybe you can use REST API to start your process in your toolkits instead?

Hey Ivan

Yes this is possible, AS LONG AS your tookit is part of the main App where belongs the Process you want to start.
The trick is to add a double slash '//' before the name of the process.
I do it in one of my toolkit to start processes from the main App.

Eg: if you want to start 'MyProcess' you call '//MyProcess'
