Workflows
Managing Workflows
Visual workflows are the heart of the Nephos platform. It brings together the data and the re-usable executables you have registered. Workflows can be authored visually through a drag and drop interface. You can also view, export or import and delete existing workflows through the Workflows tab in the Nephos platform.
Authoring a new Workflow
-
Click on the Workflows tab
-
Open the Datasets/Executable side drawer by clicking on the Orange arrow on the right
-
You should be able to drag and drop datasets and executables you need onto the workflow canvas.
-
You can start building the workflow by drawing arrows from datasets to executable input arguments.
-
You can also start connecting the output of one executable as the input to a different executable.
-
Nephos will automatically ensure the names of these match up even if they are called different things.
Running and Troubleshooting a Workflow
Once you have built a basic version of your new workflow you can try running it by clicking the ‘Run’ button in the Workflow canvas.
-
Click on the 'Run' button to validate the workflow by quickly running it.
-
Nephos will also start preparing your workflow to run and show you progress and status of the runs
-
You can open the 'Run Info' drawer on the bottom to see the system and log output of the running workflow
-
Once the workflow completes, the status should indicate as such and output if any should be captured and/or saved.
