Creating a Task in the Workflow or Worklet Designer

You can create and add tasks in the Workflow Designer or Worklet Designer as you develop the workflow or worklet. You can create any type of task in the Workflow Designer or Worklet Designer. Tasks you create in the

Workflow Designer or Worklet Designer are non-reusable. Edit the General tab of the task properties to promote a non-reusable task to a reusable task.

To create tasks in the Workflow Designer or Worklet Designer:

1.

In the Workflow Designer or Worklet Designer, open a workflow or worklet.

2.

Click Tasks > Create.

3.

Select the type of task you want to create.

4.

Enter a name for the task.

5.

Click Create.

The Workflow Designer or Worklet Designer creates the task and adds it to the workspace.

6.

Click Done.

Configuring Tasks

After you create the task, you can configure general task options on the General tab. For each task instance in the workflow, you can configure how the Integration Service runs the task and the other objects associated with the selected task. You can also disable the task so you can run rest of the workflow without the selected task.

When you use a task in the workflow, you can edit the task in the Workflow Designer and configure the following task options in the General tab:

¨ Fail parent if this task fails. Choose to fail the workflow or worklet containing the task if the task fails.

¨ Fail parent if this task does not run. Choose to fail the workflow or worklet containing the task if the task does not run.

¨ Disable this task. Choose to disable the task so you can run the rest of the workflow without the task.

¨ Treat input link as AND or OR. Choose to have the Integration Service run the task when all or one of the input link conditions evaluates to True.

Reusable Workflow Tasks

Workflows can contain reusable task instances and non-reusable tasks. Non-reusable tasks exist within a single workflow. Reusable tasks can be used in multiple workflows in the same folder.

You can create any task as non-reusable or reusable. Tasks you create in the Task Developer are reusable. Tasks you create in the Workflow Designer are non-reusable by default. However, you can edit the general properties of a task to promote it to a reusable task.

The Workflow Manager stores each reusable task separate from the workflows that use the task. You can view a list of reusable tasks in the Tasks node in the Navigator window. You can see a list of all reusable Session tasks in the Sessions node in the Navigator window.
