How to trigger BPM manually

Yahoo Archive
1
I was looking at this as well and couldn't figure out a way. In the
end I cheated. I wanted to run a BPM across a range of Sales Orders,
so I took an unused UD table and customised the screen to accept two
numbers.

I setup a BPM on the UD.Update BO and added a 4GL code action. When
the user enters two numbers and saves, the code runs. This code runs
through every SO between the two numbers entered and makes the
changes needed.

You could do something similar where the user enters a VendorID.

Alternatively, you could just add a CheckBox to the Vendor screen
and, if ticked, action the BPM. Wouldn't work from a Dashboard though.

to trigger a method from code.

I would like to run a BPM manually. Is it possible?
i.e I have a BPM for BO.Vendor.Update, It launching a 4GL code for
each updated vendor, but from time to time I would like to launch it
manually by pressing a button on Dashboard.
