Hello, we are using the API to create workflow instances by another system. We are also checking if this workflow has already been created. Now to the problem: Unfortunately we are not able to access the archived instances with api-call and check for existing workflows: api/data/v5.0/db/{{dbid}}/applications/{{applicationid}}/search?search=xxxx:xxxx if the workflow instance is not yet ar

Hi, after creating/registering an API application, a user is automatically created. For instance, if the API app is named "something", the created user is named "something - Registered App". This user needs access rigts for the app/process it need access, and that's clear. But, api actions are also performed by that user, and this name is visible (for example - if we start the workflow over

Hi, I’m looking for the best approach to handle long-running operations (potentially taking several minutes) in WEBCON BPS. Scenario: Suppose we need to perform time-consuming Active Directory updates based on a list of items within a WEBCON BPS workflow instance. Given the current execution time limit of 120 seconds, this may not be sufficient. Workaround Approach: My current solution is

Hi, I'm writing this post to verify, that I didn't overlooked an option. Situation: I have a data table to get the data of subworkflows and the base 64 encoded values of their attached images. This data table is used to create a word document. The standard SQL connection uses the bps_user which neither can read data from a separate database nor is the user allowed to read the attachment fi

💡 Summary Add a native “Freeze instance” / “Set On Hold” function that allows administrators (or authorized users) to pause a workflow instance — including all active sub-workflows — so that no tasks can be completed until the instance is released. 🧭 Current situation In WEBCON BPS today, there is no built-in way to temporarily freeze an instance. When a user mistakenly enters incorrect

Hi, I had a case where a customer wanted to "freeze" the current state of the processes in an application. "Freeze" in this context means, that it should not be possible, to trigger any path transitions, save the instance or add new attachments. While this isn't a common situation, it may come in handy to have a support way to reach this , which doesn't require modifying the process: - Mig

Hi everybody, According to the documentation (2025 R2), there should be a running mode for API Definitions (User Defined API) called “Actions on a workflow instance” which, depending on the selected action, allows using PATCH requests: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/APIDefinition/#2-running-mode However, in my 2025 R2 environment I can only see these running modes: •

Hi, I need to validate a workflow instance against other instances of the same workflow. Use case: - users reserve a resource (swimming lane) - each instance has StartDate and EndDate - the same lane cannot be reserved by two instances for overlapping time ranges Question: What is the recommended approach in WEBCON BPS to implement cross-instance validation? I tried Custom A

Hi everyone, we received again the request to add an outgoing mail as an attachment. I know that we are not alone with it and the current workaround is, that the mail is also send to a mailbox which is watched by the HotMailBoxes functionality. Having a configuration option on the "Send custom notification" to define, whether the mail should be added as an attachment to the current workflo

Hi all, I have a question regardong Form Field Extension PhoneNumber, I went through instruction: https://developer.webcon.com/docs/your-first-form-field-extension-js/ . My problem is I can't get intermidiate step to be executable, what I mean by that is that when I press on my Start step "Go to next step" it automatically executes and saves like already done instance and it says the workflow

I am currently working on WEBCON BPS version 2025.2.1.304 and I have noticed an inconsistency in the Leave Schedule / Absence Chart. For planned leaves, I can simply click the bar on the chart to navigate directly to the workflow instance (presumably thanks to the linkage via the PLN_WFID column). However, for historical leaves, clicking does nothing, and there is no way to open the related req

Hi everyone, maybe this question asked before. I am currently working with a WEBCON BPS SaaS instance and I need to connect it to a local (on-premises) SQL Server to access internal data sources. I understand that the WEBCON BPS Bridge is the recommended solution for this hybrid setup to avoid opening inbound firewall ports. However, I am having trouble locating the actual download link for
