Workflow Deployment
When you develop a workflow in the Developer tool, you create a workflow definition. To run an instance of the workflow, you add the workflow definition to an application. Then, you deploy the application to the Data Integration Service.
Deploy workflows to allow users to run workflows using the infacmd wfs startWorkflow command. When you deploy a workflow, the Data Integration Service creates a separate set of run-time metadata in the Model repository for the workflow. If you make changes to a workflow definition in the Developer tool after you deploy it, you must redeploy the application that contains the workflow definition for the changes to take effect.
Use the Developer tool to deploy workflows. You deploy workflows using the same procedure that you use to deploy other Model repository objects.
Deploy and Run a Workflow
When you deploy a workflow to the Data Integration Service, you can run a single instance of the workflow immediately after you deploy it. When you deploy and run a workflow, you cannot specify a parameter file. If the workflow uses parameters, the Data Integration Service uses the default parameter values.
To run a workflow immediately after you deploy it, click Run Object in the Deploy Completed dialog box. If the deployed application contains multiple workflows, select the workflows to run. The Data Integration Service concurrently runs an instance of each selected workflow. If the deployed application contains other object types, you cannot select those objects to run.
Monitor the workflow instance run in the Monitoring tab of the Administrator tool. To run additional instances of the workflow, use the infacmd wfs startWorkflow command.
If you receive an error message when you deploy and run a workflow, view the workflow and Data Integration Service logs for more information.
