WINRUN

Usage

TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows)

Warning: (iProcess only) This expression is not available to the TIBCO iProcess Script Server Plug-in. Therefore, even though you can successfully enter the expression in your iProcess Script plug-in definition, it will not be processed by the iProcess Engine. It will return SW_NA.

Start a program on iProcess Workspace (Windows).

Note: This function differs from SERVERRUN in that iProcess never waits for the program to exit before continuing, and that no abox file processing is performed.
