## Launch Process Activity

The Launch Process activity lets you launch another workflow process from the current process. This activity calls the PL/SQL procedure named WF_STANDARD.LAUNCHPROCESS.

#### Activity Attributes

The Launch Process activity has six activity attributes:

- Item Type--the item type of the process to launch. Specify the item type's internal name. This activity attribute requires a value.

- Item Key--an item key for the process to launch. If you do not specify a value, the item key defaults to <current_item_type>:<current_item_key>-<n>, where current_item_type and current_item_key identify the current process instance, and n is the number of processes launched by the current process instance, starting at 1.

- Process name--the internal name of the process to launch. If a process name is not specified, the activity will check the item type selector function of the process to launch for a process name.

- User Key--a user defined key for the process to launch.

- Owner--a role designated as the owner of the process to launch.

- Defer immediate--choose between YES or NO to determine whether the process to launch should be immediately deferred to the background engine. The default is NO, so once the process is launched, it continues to execute until completion or until one of its activities is deferred. See: To Define Activity Attribute Values.
