Workflow General Properties

The

General

tab of the

Create Workflow

page includes the following properties:

Workflow Name: Name of the workflow.
The name can contain up to 64 characters and can include spaces and special characters.
Description: Optional description of the workflow.
Processor Type: Consider the following guidelines when you select the processor type:
Select
Data Engineering Integration Mapping
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a
Data Engineering Integration
mapping. The mapping runs once and stops after completion. You can assign
Data Engineering Integration
mappings to custom batch publications that publish big data from on-premises applications to Hadoop-based topics, and to custom batch subscriptions that consume big data from Hadoop-based topics into on-premises applications.
Select
Data Engineering Integration Workflow
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a
Data Engineering Integration
workflow. You can assign
Data Engineering Integration
workflows to custom batch publications that publish big data from on-premises applications to Hadoop-based topics, and to custom batch subscriptions that consume big data from Hadoop-based topics into on-premises applications.
Data Engineering Integration
Workflow supports publication and subscription usage only.

Select
Data Engineering Streaming Real-time Mapping
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a Data Engineering Streaming mapping. The mapping runs continuously and reads from streaming sources. You can assign Data Engineering Streaming mappings to custom multi-latency publications that publish big data streams from on-premises applications to Hadoop-based topics.
Select
Data Quality Mapping
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a Data Engineering Quality mapping. The mapping runs once and stops after completion. You can assign Data Engineering Quality mappings to custom publications that publish from on-premises applications to database- or file-based topics and to custom subscriptions that consume data from database- or file-based topics into on-premises applications.
Select
Data Quality Workflow
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a Data Engineering Quality workflow. The workflow runs once and stops after completion. You can assign Data Engineering Quality workflow to custom publications that publish from on-premises applications to database- or file-based topics and to custom subscriptions that consume data from database- or file-based topics into on-premises applications.
Data Engineering Quality Workflow supports publication and subscription usage only.

Select
PowerCenter Batch Workflow
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a PowerCenter batch workflow. A PowerCenter batch workflow reads from a file, database, or another source. The workflow runs once and stops after completion. You can assign PowerCenter batch workflows to custom publications that publish from on-premises applications to database- or file-based topics, to custom subscriptions that consume data from database- or file-based topics into on-premises applications, to publication pre-processes, to subscription post-processes, and to event monitoring rules that invoke a PowerCenter workflow.

Select
PowerCenter Real-time Workflow
to associate the
Data Integration Hub
workflow with a real-time workflow. A PowerCenter real-time workflow runs continuously and reads from real-time sources. You can assign PowerCenter real-time workflows to custom publications that publish from on-premises applications to database- or file-based topics. Use a real-time workflow to read data from real-time sources and write the data continuously to
Data Integration Hub
. For example, use it for data that is published through web-service providers or Java Message Service (JMS) queues. When publishing through a real-time workflow, you can group the published data into single publications at predefined time intervals.
Usage: Type of process to use the
Data Integration Hub
workflow for. Select one of the following options:
Publication Pre-Processing. Runs a publication pre-process.
Publication. Runs a publication process.
Subscription. Runs a subscription process.
Subscription Post-Processing. Runs a subscription post-process.
Monitoring rule. Runs the workflow when publication or subscription events are in a defined status, as defined in the event monitoring rule.
Mapping: The workflow or mapping to add to
Data Integration Hub
. The dialog box that shows depends on the type of workflow or mapping that you select in
Processor Type
:
When the mapping type is
Data Engineering Integration mapping
, the
Add a Data Engineering Integration Mapping
dialog box shows. To show all the
Data Engineering Integration
mappings that are deployed in the Data Integration Service for Hadoop environment, click
Show All
. To search for a mapping by application name, enter a string in the
Application name
text box and then click
Search
. Select a mapping and then click
Add
.
When the mapping type is
Data Engineering Streaming Real-time mapping
, the
Add a Data Engineering Streaming Real-time Mapping
dialog box shows. To show all the Data Engineering Streaming mappings that are deployed in the Data Integration Service for Hadoop environment, click
Show All
. To search for a mapping by application name, enter a string in the
Application name
text box and then click
Search
. Select a mapping and then click
Add
.
When the mapping type is
Data Engineering Quality mapping
, the
Add an Data Engineering Quality Mapping
dialog box shows. To show all mappings that are deployed in the Data Integration Service for native environment, click
Show All
. To search for a mapping by application name, enter a string in the
Application name
text box and then click
Search
. Select a mapping and then click
Add
.
When the mapping type is a PowerCenter workflow, either a batch workflow or a real-time workflow, the
Add a PowerCenter Workflow
dialog box shows. Select one of the following options:
Select a workflow from the PowerCenter repository
. Select a PowerCenter workflow that you saved in the PowerCenter repository and then click
Add
. To show all workflows in the repository, click
Show All
. To search for a workflow by name, enter a string in the
Folder Name
text box and then click
Search
.
Select a workflow definition file (XML)
. Select an XML PowerCenter workflow definition file that you exported from the PowerCenter repository and then click
Add
. To select a file, click the browse button, browse to the location of the required file, select the file, and then click
Upload
