Start Workflow by AML in Aras Innovator

ItemType must has relationship of target Workflow Map, otherwise server will return error after executing AML.

Instantiate Workflow

Below syntax will create a new Workflow Process and server will return a new ID for it: 

<AML>
  <Item type="Source ItemType" id="Source Item ID" action="instantiateWorkflow">
    <WorkflowMap>Workflow Map ID</WorkflowMap>
  </Item>
</AML>

After created Workflow Process, source item should be linked with it. Below syntax will create relationship for them:

<AML>
  <Item type="Workflow" action="add">
    <source_type>Source ItemType</source_type>
    <source_id>Source Item ID</source_id>
    <related_id>Workflow Process ID</related_id>
  </Item>
</AML>

Start Workflow

Above steps only "create" but not "start", the new Workflow Process need to be launched manually with below syntax:

<AML>
  <Item type="Workflow Process" id="Workflow Process ID" action="startWorkflow" />
</AML>
