The documentation portal is undergoing maintenance. During this period, you can't create any new user credentials. If you do, you'll need to recreate the user credential after the maintenance period ends.
You can create a linear taskflow to group multiple data integration tasks. A linear taskflow runs tasks serially in the order that you specify.
Use linear taskflows when you want to create a simple taskflow. For example, you want to update a list of contacts on a monthly basis. To do so, you want to upsert recent account information and then upsert contact information for each account. You create a taskflow with a
synchronization
task to upsert accounts followed by a
synchronization
task to upsert contacts for the accounts. You schedule the linear taskflow to run each month.
Linear taskflows are a simplified version of the
Data Integration
taskflow feature. Linear taskflows cannot control the execution sequence of tasks based on the previous task in the taskflow. If you want to create a dynamic taskflow, see
Taskflows.
Linear taskflows can include the following task types:
Synchronization
task
Replication
task
Mapping
task
Masking
task
PowerCenter task
You can edit linear taskflows. If you add a task to a linear taskflow that is currently running,
Data Integration
does not run the new task until the next time the linear taskflow runs.
If you want to delete a linear taskflow, be sure that no users in the organization plan to use it. You cannot retrieve a linear taskflow after you delete it.
