# GETPROCESSDATA Workflow Application

## Overview

The **GETPROCESSDATA** workflow application lets you retrieve process data values for a specified request. It is very useful for inter-process communications.

As an initial sub-process action, GETPROCESSDATA provides a flexible alternative to the sub-process parameters, since it involves no versioning management constraints with the parent process.

## Using default and other parameters

### Request

The required parameter request is `REQUEST_ID` (IN, numeric): the request ID that contains the process data to retrieve.

### Activity

The other parameters are defined in the workflow action according to your needs.

* **Parameter name**: The name of the remote process data to retrieve
* **Receive value into**: The process data to update

#### 📌 Example

To retrieve the value of the `COMPANY` process data into the `CUSTOMER_COMPANY` process data:

* **Parameter name**: `COMPANY` 
* **Receive value into**: `CUSTOMER_COMPANY`

The process data types must be the same. You can add an exception management to handle possible errors (e.g. invalid request ID).
