Hi Team,
I’m currently working on triggering a workflow through the Apache Hop REST API
using Postman, but I’m encountering the following issue:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webresult>
<result>ERROR</result>
<message>The specified workflow [null] could not be found</message>
<id/>
</webresult>
Below are the details of my setup:
*
Hop Server Host: localhost
*
Port: 8080
*
Run Configuration: local
*
API Endpoint Used: /hop/workflows/add
*
Payload (XML):
<workflow_execution_configuration>
<filename>C:/Users/shiva/filename.hwf</filename>
<run_configuration>local</run_configuration>
<log_level>BASIC</log_level>
<safe_mode>N</safe_mode>
<clearing_log>N</clearing_log>
<expanding_remote_job>N</expanding_remote_job>
<gathering_metrics>N</gathering_metrics>
</workflow_execution_configuration>
I’ve verified that:
*
The file path is correct and accessible.
*
The Hop Server is running and reachable from the browser
(http://localhost:8080/hop/status).
*
Other endpoints (like /hop/status) return expected responses.
Despite this, the API call continues to return the “workflow [null] could not
be found” error.
Could you please help me identify what might be missing or misconfigured in my
setup?
Also, please let me know if there are any specific configurations or paths
required for workflows to be recognized by the Hop Server.
Thanks & Regards,
Shivanand Ullagaddi
