Managing Workflows
This page provides information on how to test, run, and manage the workflows in your account.
Overview
Once a workflow is created, you have 6 different options to manage the workflow you have created. You can do each of the following from the main Workflow screen:
Test a workflow
Testing a workflow enables you to run the transformation portion of your workflow on the Test Data Warehouse that you have created. This is good SQL code development practice as it will enable you to validate that the transformation code you have created generates the expected output before you put the transformation code into production
You will not be able to test a workflow unless a test data warehouse has been created
To test a workflow follow these steps:
Click Test Workflow
Select the Test Warehouse and Branch to run
Run the workflow
View Workflow Results
Click on the test workflow icon next to the workflow you want to test
This will take you to the test workflow page where you will be able to select the test warehouse you want to run the code on and the branch of code you want to run by selecting the appropriate value from the two dropdowns.
Once the selection are made, click on the Run button to execute the workflow. This will run the workflow and take you to the Workflow Execution Status screen where you can track the workflow running
The workflow will either complete or fail giving you detailed information on the failure reason
From the Test Workflow screen you will be able to see the results of prior workflow executions and drill into the workflow execution status screen to see details on that workflow test
Run a workflow
Running a workflow enables you to run on-demand the entire extract, load, transform and operationalize parts of your workflow or to run just certain specific portions
To run a workflow, follow these steps:
Click Run Workflow
Select the components you want to run
Click on the run workflow icon next to the workflow you want to run
This will take you to the Workflows screen where you will select the Extractions, Transformations and Operations that you would like this one-time workflow execution to run
Once you have selected the appropriate sections and clicked run the app will take you to the Workflow Execution Status page where you can monitor the status of this one-time execution
Edit a workflow
Editing a workflow enables you to make changes to the workflow and adjust the extractions, transformations and / or schedules of the workflow
To edit a workflow just click on the edit workflow button next to the workflow you want to edit and make the changes similar to how you would in Creating Workflows
Activate / deactivate a workflow
Activating / Deactivating a workflow enables you to turn the schedule on or off so that the workflow follows the schedule as defined in setup.
To activate a workflow click on the activate button next to the workflow you want to turn on:
Which will prompt you to confirm you want to activate the workflow:
You can deactivate a workflow by clicking on the deactivate button next to the active workflow you want to turn off:
Which will prompt you to confirm you want to deactivate the workflow:
Delete a workflow
Deleting a workflow will remove the workflow from the UI.
Deleting a workflow is permanent. The Daasity Support team cannot recover a workflow that has been deleted.
To delete a workflow click on the delete button next to the workflow you want to remove:
Which will prompt you to confirm you want to delete the workflow
Show the last execution timeline
Showing the timeline for the last execution will expand the window to show you a graph of the time it took to extract, load and transform the data the last time the workflow ran. To view the graph click on the the show timeline button next to the workflow:
This button will show only if the workflow has been run at least once.
