Hi,
What is the best way to start DataFlow from a Workflow?
I am thinking of ION API IMS messaging. Is there better way?

Hi @kirill-kuchumov Yes, IMS is one of the ways, but why would you have to call a Dataflow from the workflow.
Is it possible for you to share the scenario?
Hi Sudhakaran,
It looks like it's not possible to call IMS API from workflow, though I can do it using Postman.
My scenario - I run compass query in dataflow, now I need to wait some unknown time until compass query is finished.
There is no loop/wait in DF so I start WF to periodically check on status of compass query.
When compass query is finished I need to get data from compass, but I can't do it in WF, only in DF.
So I need to start another DF when compass query is finished.
I figured out the only way to do it is by MNS260MI.
Hi Kirill,For your scenario you don't need to call another Dataflow.
Within the same dataflow, after the Workflow step add another IONAPI Connection Point that makes call to the final Compass API to retrieve results. In this case the Input and the Output of your workflow will be same.
there is no BODY in API Output parameters.
I can get only CODE
Hi @kirill-kuchumov
If you haven't checked this blog post do check. We can wait for the compass query to get finished and get back to dataflow.
