More Information

If you are using a Retrieve Laserfiche Forms Content Workflow activity with default Process Instance settings, Workflow Server is expecting that the current workflow instance was started by a Laserfiche Forms instance. If the workflow was actually started in another fashion, you may see error messages that are similar to the following:

The token 'FormsBPInstanceID' was not found. [0511-WF1]

The token 'FormsSubmissionID' was not found. [0511-WF1]

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Verify that the Workflow instance is being started by a Laserfiche Forms business process, or modify the Retrieve Laserfiche Forms Content activity's Process Instance settings to use a specific Forms instance.
