Step 1. Define General Workflow Properties

Define general workflow properties on the

General

tab of the

Create Workflow

page.

On the Navigator, click

Hub Management

Workflows

New Workflow

Enter the workflow name.

The name can contain up to 64 characters and can include spaces and special characters.

Optionally, enter a description of the workflow.

Select the type of processor to run the workflow. You can select one of the following processor types:

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.

Select the 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.

Select the workflow or mapping to associate with the

Data Integration Hub

workflow. Your selection 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

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

. 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

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
