Creating the Workflow

Creating the Workflow

You can group sessions in a workflow to improve performance or ensure that targets load in a set order. In the following steps, you create a workflow that runs the sessions s_PhoneList and s_ItemSummary concurrently.
  1. Click
    Tools
    Workflow Designer
    .
  2. Click
    Workflows
    Create
     to create a new workflow.
    If a workflow is already open, the workspace is cleared.
    The workflow properties appear.
  3. Name the workflow wf_ItemSummary_PhoneList.
  4. Click the
    Open
     button to select an Integration Service to run the workflow.
    The
    Integration Service Browser
     dialog box appears.
  5. Select an Integration Service and click
    OK
    .
  6. Click the
    Properties
     tab and select
    Write Backward Compatible Workflow Log File
    .
    The default name of the workflow log file is wf_ItemSummary_PhoneList.log.
  7. Click the
    Scheduler
     tab.
    By default, the workflow is scheduled to run on demand. Keep this default.
  8. Click
    OK
     to close the
    Create Workflow
     dialog box.
    The Workflow Manager creates a workflow in the workspace including the Start task.
  9. From the Navigator, drag the s_ItemSummary session to the workspace. Then, drag the s_PhoneList session to the workspace.
  10. Click the
    Link Task
     button on the toolbar.
  11. Drag from the Start task to the s_ItemSummary Session task.
  12. Drag from the Start task to the s_PhoneList Session task.
    The following image shows the workflow wf_ItemSummary_PhoneList:
    The Start task connects to the s_ItemSummary and s_PhoneList Session tasks.
    By default, when you link both sessions directly to the Start task, the Integration Service runs both sessions at the same time when you run the workflow. If you want the Integration Service to run the sessions one after the other, connect the Start task to one session, and connect that session to the other session.
  13. Click
    Repository
    Save
     to save the workflow in the repository.
    You can now run and monitor the workflow.
