Workflows
The Applications view displays workflows included in applications that have been deployed to a Data Integration Service. You can view workflow properties, enable a workflow, and start a workflow.
Workflow Properties
Workflow properties include read-only general properties.
The following table describes the read-only general properties for workflows:
Property | Description |
|---|
Name | Name of the workflow. |
Description | Short description of the workflow. |
Type | Type of the object. Valid value is workflow. |
Location | The location of the workflow. This includes the domain and Data Integration Service name. |
Enabling a Workflow
Before you can run instances of the workflow, the Data Integration Service must be running and the workflow must be enabled.
Enable a workflow to allow users to run instances of the workflow. Disable a workflow to prevent users from running instances of the workflow. When you disable a workflow, the Data Integration Service aborts any running instances of the workflow.
When a deployed application is enabled by default, the workflows in the application are also enabled.
When a deployed application is disabled by default, the workflows are also disabled. When you enable the application manually, each workflow in the application is also enabled.
1. Select the Data Integration Service in the Navigator.
2. In the Applications view, select the workflow that you want to enable.
3. Click Actions > Enable Workflow.
Starting a Workflow
After you deploy a workflow, you run an instance of the workflow from the deployed application from the Administrator tool.
1. In the Administrator tool, click the Data Integration Service on which you deployed the workflow.
2. Click the Applications tab.
3. Expand the application that contains the workflow you want to start.
4. Select the workflow that you want to run.
5. Click Actions > Start Workflow.
The Start Workflow dialog box appears.
