Title How To Capture the Creator of a Workflow Process in a Process Variable. 
Details Additional Information 
Description
-----------------
Using the API distributed with Windchill, it is not possible to capture the creator of a 
Workflow Process Creator. This is because the necessary methods associated with the 
WfProcess section of the Windchill API distributed with Windchill is unsupported.

Alternate Technique
-----------------

For this particular instance, use of the API has been granted. To capture the Creator, 
use an expression (in an expression robot) similar to the following:

wt.org.WTUser initiator = (wt.org.WTUser)((wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess)self.getObject()).getCreator().getPrincipal();

Resolution
-----------------
This issue will be addressed in a future publication of the Windchill API.
