Process to Run Workflows with Parameters
A workflow parameter represents a constant value that you define before the workflow runs. You can override the parameter value when you include the parameter in a parameter set or a parameter file.
To run workflows with different parameter values, perform the following steps:
- 1. Create a workflow parameter and assign it a default value.
- 2. Assign the parameter in task input or assign the parameter to a mapping parameter.
- 3. Create one or more parameter sets that include the workflow and mapping parameters in the workflow. Change the parameter values as required.
- 4. Deploy the workflow and the parameter sets to a Data Integration Service.
- 5. Run the workflow from the command line and specify which parameter set to use for the workflow run.
Note: You can create a parameter file and then run the workflow from the command line with the parameter file. You cannot run a workflow with a parameter file and a parameter set at the same time.
