TeleFlow Step 0505
From TeleFlow
Run TAP
Runs another TeleFlow Application, or TAP file.
Special care must be taken when developing a TeleFlow Application that is expected to run from within another application. The sub-application (I.e. the one to run) must be designed such that it will not run a Wait for Call step if a caller is already on the phone, and will exit when someone hangs up or when an error occurs (and when whatever task the application was run for is complete, of course!).

TeleFlow Application (.TAP): The TeleFlow Application to run.
Pass through database connections: Provides the current application's database connection to the application that is being run. The application run can run queries against that database connection without running the DB Connect step to attain its own connection (I.e. It is effectively the same as the application being run having attained the database connection using DB Connect). This option is provided for convenience, and because some database connections can be slow to connect, which means that database connections while a caller is on the line are undesirable.
Parameter/Value (@P1 - @P9): The data to pass in to the application being run. The application will receive these as the application parameter variables @P1 through @P9. This works just like the parameter settings in TeleFlow LineList, wherein the parameters for each line for variables @P1 through @P9 are defined prior to running TeleFlow Server. SPECIAL: The START step in the TAP screen of the application receiving variables passed in by a Run TAP step can also define new global variables to receive the values passed in. These can even be used in a pass by reference fashion to return information to the application using the Run TAP step. See Starting Point and the description on Flowchart Parameters for more information: Passing application parameter variables by value and reference work the same way for TeleFlow Applications as they do for flowcharts.
