To run a process using a Pushbutton or hyperlink in PeopleSoft

Is it possible to run a process such as SQR, Application Engine, COBOL, Crystal Reports, Data Mover, Cube Builder by the click of a hyperlink in PeopleSoft, that too without any coding (PeopleCode)?
Yes, we can run a process using a Pushbutton or hyperlink in PeopleSoft.

To schedule or run a process via online by PeopleCode see my earlier post on Scheduling/Running a SQR from Peoplecode

This post elaborates on using Pushbutton/Hyperlink to invoke a Process via PeopleSoft process scheduler.
1) Insert a Push button in the Page definition from which user would invoke the process.
2) In the Destination drop down, chose 'Process'
3) Associate a Record and Field.
4) In the 'Process' area, choose:
     a) 'Type' of process - One of SQR, Application Engine, COBOL, Crystal Reports, Data Mover, Cube Builder
     b) Process 'Name' - defined via PeopleSoft and/or added as a Process in PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.
5) Click 'OK' and Save the Page

Now the associated process gets triggered whenever the pushbutton or hyperlink is clicked upon.
