Invoking workflows in Siebel has become very easy since the introduction of Runtime Events. Runtime events saves a lot of time for developers. We no longer have to create triggers or workflow policies to invoke workflows on certain record events.

In this post I will explain how easy it is to invoke a workflow using Runtime Events.

Objective: Execute a Workflow "SiebelGuide Lead WF" when a new Opportunity is created.

Steps:

1. Create the Workflow, Test and Deploy it.
2. Create an Action Set.
   1. Go to Sitemap-> Administration-Runtime Events->Action Sets
   2. Create a New Record
   3. Under this one Action set you can run more than one action like Workflows or Business Services.
   4. Name = "SiebelGuide_com_RunWF"
   5. Choose Action Type = BusService
   6. Enter Business Service Name = "Workflow Process Manager"
   7. Business Service Method = "RunProcess"
   8. Business Service Context = "ProcessName", "name of Workflow"
   9. See the screen shot below
   10. 
4. Create Event Aliases
   1. Name = "Opportunity - New"
   2. Object Type = "BusComp"
   3. Object Name = "Opportunity" (This defines on what BC you need to trigger on)
   4. Event = "NewRecord" (This defines the event)
   5. See the screen shot below
   6. 
6. Create a Events
   1. Name = "Opportunity - New" (Here you choose the Event Alias you created in previous step)
   2. Action Set Name = "SiebelGuide_com_RunWF" (Here you choose the Action Set you created in Step 1)
   3. See the screenshot below
   4. 
7. Logout and Login back to see if your workflow is working.
8. Whenever a New Opportunity Record is created the Workflow will be run.

Hope this helps. Comment if you have any questions.a
