Table-Driven Workflow Instancing

TheWorkflow Table can be used to instantiate multiple workflows interfacing similar sources and targets. Although almost every configuration aspect can be parameterized, the start/end-point identifiers (e.g. IP addresses, directories, login, passwords, etc.) are normally the most important.

Shared In-Memory Table Lookup during Workflow Execution

During execution of business logic, many workflows are dependent on retrieving data from a persisted storage, such as a database, by looking up data in own in-memory table. Each workflow instance will load/release its own lookup table during a workflow startup/shutdown. Therefore in the case of execution of many workflow instances, multiple loads/releases of the table will occur with unnecessarily high memory consumption.

Error Handling

Many types of error handling can be implemented using the workflow properties. Automated re-transmissions can be executed according to the preferred behavior, e.g. make a specified number of retries before aborting the re-transmission attempts as configured in the example below.
