Before you run a session in a workflow, configure and schedule the workflow. You can schedule a workflow to run continuously, run at a given time or interval, or you can manually start a workflow. The PowerCenter Integration Service runs scheduled workflows through the duration of the schedule, unless the workflow fails.

To run a continuous workflow, select Run continuously when you edit the scheduler for the workflow. A continuous workflow starts as soon as the PowerCenter Integration Service initializes. When the workflow stops, it restarts immediately.
