Introduction

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

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

Workflows can be started

• automatically
  • by JS7 - Schedules,
  • by JS7 - File Watching,
  • by other workflows using the JS7 - AddOrder Instruction.
• manually
  • by users adding orders from the JOC Cockpit GUI.
• programmatically
  • by external applications using the JS7 - REST Web Service API,
  • by external applications using the JS7 - PowerShell Module.
