To start a workflow on a single list item , we can use the following PowerShell commands.
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity https://mysite/workflow $manager = $web.Site.WorkFlowManager
$mylist = $web.Lists["Shared Documents"]
$association = $mylist .WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName("On Item Created","en-US")
$data = $association .AssociationData
$items = $mylist .Items foreach($item in $items)
{ $wf = $manager.StartWorkFlow($item,$association ,$data,$true)
}
$manager.Dispose()
$web.Dispose()
