You

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I succeeded. Although a session name is used by many workflows, the
purpose of this session is the same so if a session is used by many
workflows. I take the first folder/workflow returned by the SQL
request.

It's very basic, I need to launch a session via pmcmd command by
using a DOS batch file which receives the session name as the sole
input parameter. For me using an additional workflow is too heavy.
