The following topics explain how to use start request operations with the Catalyst Execute operator.

QueryStartRequestForms

To query start request forms, use the QueryStaonrtRequestForms operation.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a process.
2. Drag the Execute operator to the Designer.
3. Double-click the Execute operator to open the Properties palette.
4. Enter the required Catalyst Security and the required Execute parameters.

   Catalyst Security

   Username: (Catalyst user name)

   Password: (Catalyst password)

   Claims:

   ClaimName: Username

   ClaimValue: pamadmin

   PasswordClaims:

   ClaimName: Password

   ClaimValue: pamadmin

   Execute

   CatalystBrokerURL: https://hostname:7443/ucf/BrokerService

   MdrProduct: "CA:00074 (CA Process Automation)"

   MdrProdInstance: "CA:00074:01"

   Operation Category: "CA Process Automation"

   Operation: QueryStartRequestForms

5. Create a recursive filter that queries start request forms in the Library.The filter can restrict the search by path, recursively, and by keywords (tags).
   1. In the Execute Properties, click Parameters.
   2. On the Filter tab, enter the following parameters:

      LookUpPath: Defines the path to query for start request forms. In this example, we are querying for start request forms in the "Bulk_SRFs" parent folder.

      IsRecursive: true

      Keywords: Defines one or more keywords (such as run, queued, and complete) with which to query start request forms.

      You can also conduct a query without keywords, as in the following illustration:

   

   1. Click Save and Close.
6. Run the process.
7. Review the output.

   For example, in the following illustration there are 25 start request forms (with variables) from the provided LookUpPath:
