Getting process id from SOAP invocation

[Aditya_S_]

Is there a way to get a processid as a SOAP response when invoking a long lived process? This was possible in LC 7.2.

What makes you difficult here?

Add a process variable (OUT) and assign the process id to it using Assign Task activity. That should return the Process Id as SOAP response.

The process is long lived and, I was using invokeAsync all this while. Changing to invoke didn't work as it wouldn't allow me to start the process and the output variable is not available through invokeAsync.

Suggestions anyone?

can anybody please comment on this? I have another question...when should I use JobManager and when should i use TaskManager APIs?

What is the significance of process id? Does it signify the process or it signifies the process instance? Please explain.

The invokeAsyn() method will return an invocation_id value. Isn't it?

Can you use that and query the Process Manager to get the Process Id later?

This should work...
