Trigger a process typing a URL in the browser

[J.M.]

Hi,

I need to know if this funtionality is reachable by using RMP.
What I exactly need is that another system make an http/get request to an URL (with some parameters), which should trigger a process. In this process, I would need to collect the parameters and use them appropriately.

Is it possible?
How can I launch a process, from an URL typed in a web browser?

Thanks in advance and regards.

Hi,

You can Open Corresponding Connector of your RMP Process.Copy the urls along with the Content & Configuration.Hit it from outside RMP passing the Authorization Header which are your base64 encoded RMP credentials. Go to RMP Process Report and check if your process is getting triggered.

You can refer to the below posts on Support for better understanding:

Hi Bidisha,

I don't understand your reply...

In the first link, I understand that the goal is to trigger a RMP process, from a third application (which is not my case).
And in the second link, it seems like the launch is done using a conector for triggering a subprocess, from a father process, (which in my opinion is neither my case).

The situation I'm trying to get is:
Suppose, I have a process totally finished. I know I can trigger it sending an email to the appropiate address or establishing a timer, right? So I wonder if I could use a similar way, to build an URL, that will trigger the process (like the adress of mail where you can send an e-mail to trigger it).
I mean, first, I build the process; secondly, I put a URL in the browser, and the process is triggered.

Maybe, I'm losing something, but I think it's a distinct goal from the two links you metioned.

Is this kind of trigger, posible?

thanks again and regards.

Hi,

In order to trigger a RMP process from outside,you need to use POST method URL and you can't directly hit a POST url from browser.Moreover you need to pass Contents with url which is not possible on direct hit of url on browser. So,basically its not really possible to do whatever you are looking for.

Fore more information on Process trigger,please refer to : http://docs.runmyprocess.com/Developer_Guide/Process/Trigger

Also,let me know if you have any other requirement so that I can provide you with work around for the same.

Thanks & Regards
