Introduction

Workflows implement jobs and dependencies for workload automation. Orders are triggers that cause the execution of workflows.

  • The Configuration View provides a graphical design view from the JS7 - Workflow Editor.
  • The Workflows View provides a tactical view which can be used to monitor the processing of orders with workflows in near real-time and perform interventions if required.

Orders in a workflow can be started from specific positions and can be made to end at specific positions:

Start Position and End Positions of Orders in a Workflow

Orders can be added from JS7 - Schedules, from the Workflows view and when they are modified in the JS7 - Daily Plan. In each case they can be assigned:

  • a start position in the workflow:
    • users can select a later instruction, for example a job in a workflow, at which the order will start,
    • any top-level instructions can be selected.
  • any number of end positions in the workflow:
    • more than one position can be selected,
    • any top-level instructions can be selected.

Note: The start position and end positions specify the instructions in a workflow before which an order will start or complete. This means that the instruction at the start position will be executed when the order starts but that the instruction at the end position will not be executed.

Adding Order Positions from the Instruction List

The popup window for adding orders allows the start position and end positions to be selected.

  • Users can select top-level instructions as positions. Nested instructions cannot be selected as positions.
  • A single start position can be selected and any number of end positions following the start position can be selected.

Adding Order Positions from the Graphical View

Clicking the icon in the popup window for adding orders causes the graphical workflow view for selecting start and end positions to be displayed:

  • Users can click a single top-level instruction to select the start position.
  • Users can click any number of top-level instructions to select the end positions at which the order will complete the workflow.
    • A first click selects the position.
    • A second click unselects the position.
