The Inter Workflow profile enables you to configure the storage server that the Inter Workflow forwarding and collection agents use for communication. It is safe to accumulate a lot of data in the storage server directory. When the initial set of directories has been populated with a predefined number of files, new directories are automatically created to avoid problems with file system performance. You can configure the Inter Workflow profile for the following storage types:
The Inter Workflow profile is loaded when you start a workflow that depends on it. Changes to the profile become effective when you restart the workflow.
ConfigurationTo create a new Inter Workflow profile configuration, click the Build → New Configuration in the upper part of the Desktop window, and then select Inter Workflow Profile from the menu. The contents of the menus in the menu bar may change depending on which configuration type is opened. The Inter Workflow profile uses the standard menu items and buttons that are visible for all configurations, and these are described in Build View (4.0). The External References button in the menu bar is specific for Inter Workflow profile configurations.
The Inter Workflow profile configuration contains the following settings:
Copy to Clipboard (applicable if the Storage Type is Database Storage) This button will copy the text in the text area below, which was generated by the “Show SQL Statement” button, to the clipboard on your computer. Root Directory (applicable if the Storage Type is File Storage) The absolute pathname of the directory on the storage handler where the temporary files will be placed. If this field is greyed out with a stated directory, it means that the directory path has been hard coded using the Storage Host From the drop-down list, select either Automatic or an activated EC group.Using Automatic means . When using Database Storage type, the location of storage will always be the chosen database.
Note | Note!The workflow must be running on the same EC as its storage resides. If the storage is configured to be Automatic, its corresponding directory must be a shared file system between all the EC Groups. Max Bytes An optional parameter stating the limit of the space consumed by the files stored in the Root Directory or Database. If the limit is reached, any Inter Workflow forwarding agent using this profile will abort. Max Batches An optional parameter stating the maximum number of batches stored in the Root Directory or Database. If the limit is reached, any Inter Workflow forwarding agent using this profile will abort. Compress intermediate data Select this checkbox if you want to compress the data sent between the Inter Workflow agents. The data will be compressed into *.gzip format with compression level 5. Named MIMs A list of user-defined MIM names. These variables do not have any values assigned. They are populated with existing MIM values from the Inter Workflow forwarding agent. This way, MIMs from the forwarding workflow can be passed on to the collecting workflow. |
