Call system function

Use the Call system function to execute another workflow map. When the processing of the called submap is complete, control returns to the calling step for any routing conditions.

To specify the properties of the Call system function

  1. Place a system step on the workflow map where you want to execute another workflow map.
  2. In the Properties pane under Available Functions, select Call, then click the right arrow to move it to the Selected Functions column.
  3. Double-click Call in the Selected Functions column.
  4. Select the map to execute when the workflow reaches this system step.
  5. You can choose either a workflow map, or a FileNet-provided system map.
   

TIP The Call system function is similar to using a Submap step with the following difference: in addition to the Workflow main map and any submaps, you can call a system map. See About system maps for additional information.
