start workflow from Business rule and pass values to workflow

[manojn_cse]

Hi Team,
I am trying to trigger workflow from Business rule and pass values to workflow variable from Business rule. I used the syntax from below link . Workflow got triggered successfully but values are not getting assigned to workflow variables.

Ref URL : https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/jakarta-servicenow-platform/page/administer/using-workflows/concept/c_UsingVariablesInAWorkflow.html#ariaid-title3

Business Rule on sc_req_item table :

startWorkflow(current.cat_item.workflow);
action.setRedirectURL(current);

function startWorkflow(id) {
gs.addInfoMessage("G U_SCCM_Device :"+current.u_sccm_device);
var w = new Workflow();
var vars = { } ;
vars.device = "ggg123" ;
vars.install_user_group = "input_var_value2" ;
vars.g_dev_1 = "test124" ;
//var context = w.startFlow(id, current, current.operation('update'),{device: "test124" });
//var context = w.startFlow(id, current, current.operation('update'),{g_dev_1: "g_dev_124" });
var context = w.startFlow(id, current, current.operation('update'),vars);
//var context = w.startFlow(id, current, current.operation('update'), getVars());
if (context != null)
current.context = context.sys_id;
//gs.addInfoMessage("GGG Inside Business Rule 123 :"+context);
gs.addInfoMessage("GGG getVars() :"+ getVars());
}


/**
* Get the variables from the request item so that we can map these to the workflow.input
* variables if the names match.
*/
function getVars() {
var vars = {};
vars.device = "ggg123";
vars.g_dev_1 ="g_test1234";

// gs.addInfoMessage("GGG vars.device:"+ vars.device);
// for (var n in current.variables)
//vars[n] = current.variables[n];

return vars;
}
