Objects Created in the Workflow Manager

Objects Created in the Workflow Manager

Use the Workflow Manager to create and edit the following repository objects:
  • Database connections.
    The Integration Service uses database connections to connect to the source and target databases.
  • Sessions.
    Sessions are workflow tasks that contain information about how the Integration Service moves data through mappings. You create a session for each mapping you want to run. To run the session, place it in a workflow. Use the Workflow Designer to create sessions.
  • Workflows.
    A workflow is a set of instructions, divided into tasks, the Integration Service uses to extract, transform, and load data.
  • Workflow tasks.
    Workflow tasks are instructions the Integration Service executes when running a workflow. Workflow tasks perform functions supplementary to extracting, transforming, and loading data. Workflow tasks include commands, decisions, timers, and email notification.
  • Worklets.
    Worklets are objects that represent a set of workflow tasks that allow you to reuse a set of workflow logic in several workflows. You can run worklets in workflows and nest worklets in other worklets.
