Start a process on behalf of a given user with rest

Q&A
1

Hi,

I'm using bonita 6.2.2 and I'd like to start a process instance using the rest API on behalf of a given user the same way it's possible with the java API ProcessInstance startProcess(long userId, long processDefinitionId)
I've tried adding the 'started_by' variable to the rest call http://localhost:8080/bonita/API/bpm/case this way

{"processDefinitionId":7967014138153140293,"started_by":25, "variables":[...]}
but the process is created with the current session user.

Is it possible to start a process instance on behalf of a given user using the rest API?

regards,

Mathieu

Hi,

 

currently this action is not possible with the rest API. You can open a request for it here: http://community.bonitasoft.com/contribute/issue.

Hello.

I’ve the same needs on version 7.1, and I’ve found no way with the REST API to start a case for a given user, or change the owner after the instanciation.

Is there an API extension on the more recent released ?

Thanks for help.

Regards.
