Creating a Workflow

Creating a Workflow

In the following steps, you create a workflow with a non-reusable session to run the mapping you just created.
Verify that the Integration Service that runs the workflow can access the source XML file.

Usually, this is the SrcFiles directory in the Integration Service installation directory.
