All my workflows will start but stay on the submission page until the workflow completes.
What am I doing wrong?
I want to enter the options for the workflow and then have it return the jobid.
Thanks.

How do get my workflows to just start and return a jobid?
+17Best answer by christopherlecky
I tried to post the XML of an example workflow but it got blocked.
Most of the workflows I make use the intput wizard, because the standard inputs don’t allow for filtering.
for example I have a workflow for decommissioning servers, if I allow selection of the servers for the workflow input it will allow end users to select the commserve or media agents either maliciously or by accident.
By using a wizard I can select for specific clients, based on whatever criteria I consider to be relevant.
For those workflows I cannot set the workflow as interactive to it just sits there's and waits while the workflow runs.
I guess the question is how do I switch the workflow from interactive to non-interactive?
Also. how do I get the workflow to pop the jobid for the workflow after submission?
Essentially when I set the workflow for interactive it submits but doesn't give you the jobid in command center like I see some workflows do.
This makes running the workflow seamless, I want to submit the workflow then click on the jobid to monitor.

We need more details… Can you share a generalized (with no credentials etc.) WF?
+17Sure.
I’ll share one I just cooked up.

+17Oh brother. I pasted the XML but the post got flagged for review ðŸ˜
+17What is happening?
+17I tried to post the XML of an example workflow but it got blocked.
Most of the workflows I make use the intput wizard, because the standard inputs don’t allow for filtering.
for example I have a workflow for decommissioning servers, if I allow selection of the servers for the workflow input it will allow end users to select the commserve or media agents either maliciously or by accident.
By using a wizard I can select for specific clients, based on whatever criteria I consider to be relevant.
For those workflows I cannot set the workflow as interactive to it just sits there's and waits while the workflow runs.
I guess the question is how do I switch the workflow from interactive to non-interactive?
Also. how do I get the workflow to pop the jobid for the workflow after submission?
Essentially when I set the workflow for interactive it submits but doesn't give you the jobid in command center like I see some workflows do.
This makes running the workflow seamless, I want to submit the workflow then click on the jobid to monitor.
