What is the best way to Invoke a flow which is not in the Inheritance path
Hi Team,
I have to invoke a flow from PegaAccel-Management-Import class from a flow which is in my work class. I have defined a page for PegaAccel-Management-Import class in Pages & Classes Tab of the flow. Then I tried using Subprocess, using "on Embedded page" option, gave the page defined in pages & classes tab and selected the desired flow. But didn't help. Got the below error
Test compilation failed: ----------
1. ERROR in \Rule_Obj_Flow_HCLT_AppPoCs_Work_TestGraphs_TestGraphs_Flow_Action_20171201T101031_475_GMT.java (at line 1072)
String flowInterestPage = "ImportPage".getReference();
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The method getReference() is undefined for the type String
----------
1 problem (1 error)
Compile failed.
Page Property—
** The specified property is not a valid page reference.
The property reference specified for an embedded page subflow must be of mode page.

Hi Vamsi,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
As per my understanding, "Define flow" configuration in subprocess shape is to identify the objects the flow is to update. Meaning context of work object.

Identify the objects the flow is to update. Select:

I am not sure about invoking the flow out of inheritance hierarchy from subprocess shape, though alternatively, you can configure an activity in the same. In this activity call your flow, with the Flow-New method.

Hi Asif,
Yes, I have already tried using an activity to invoke the flow using flow-new. But during run time, I was getting the following error
The work object PEGAACCEL could not be opened: Unable to open an instance using the given inputs: pxObjClass = "PegaAccel-Management-Import", pyID = ""
I've found the following link "https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/pxinsname-value-empty-flow-new-call-activity" related to this error. Which says "user needs to either create workpage before calling the flow or set property pyTemporaryObject to true."
I've tried setting pyTemporaryObject to true. But didn't help. Got the following error "Failed to find instance HCLT-AppPoCs-Work-TestGraphs.WizardScreenFlowNoSteps of type Rule-HTML-Harness."
Can you please let me know what does it mean "create workpage before calling the flow ". How should it be implemented.

Normally, a work page is created when you run a flow whose "process" or "design" tab (I always forget which) has the "creates new work" checkbox. So you could either try turning on that checkbox for your original flow, or run a different flow to create the work, and then run your flow on that work.

Hi Ericosman,
Attaching the snapshot of "Process" tab of my flow. "Creates a new work object" is already selected. But still I'm getting The work object PEGAACCEL could not be opened: Unable to open an instance using the given inputs: pxObjClass = "PegaAccel-Management-Import", pyID = "" .
Thanks,
Vamsi.

I tried the scenario on my system. In my work class, I created a page property associated with the PegaAccel-Management-Import class. In my work class flow, I added a subprocess to call the new CodeReview flow I created in the PegaAccel-Management-Import class.
