How to get the ProcessInstance for a workflow item?

Question

How can I get the ProcessData object from a workflow item using the core service? The code below gets the LinkToProcessInstanceData but not the actual ProcessInstance.

Is there a way to convert from a LinkToProcessInstanceData to ProcessData?

LinkToProcessInstanceData procInstanceLinkData = wfItem.WorkflowInfo.ProcessInstance;

Answer 1

The way is called Read:

var processInstance = (ProcessInstanceData) client.Read(wfItem.WorkflowInfo.ProcessInstance.IdRef, new ReadOptions());
