In Plan View, you design your plan, which includes the building and sequencing of tasks and the triggers that execute your sequence of tasks. |
NOTE: Parameter values are applied to a plan, but you cannot apply parameter overrides to the plan. You can apply flow parameter overrides on individual flows, which are applied at the time of plan execution. For more information, see Manage Parameters Dialog. |
Plan View Page |
The main panel is the plan canvas, where you build your plans.
On the right side is the context panel. Depending on what you select in the plan canvas, a different set of context options is displayed.
Actions:
Run now: Run the plan now. You can track progress of your plan run. See Plan Runs Page.
Menu options:
Runs: The Runs link tracks the current total number of runs that have been queued or executed for this plan. Click this link to track progress on your plan run. See "Run Details" below.
For more information, see Create a Plan.
To create a trigger, you specify the time and frequency that the plan is to be executed:
Create plan trigger |
UTC
in the drop-down.Time zone settings set in the drop-down are used with the cron schedule.
Saved trigger |
To disable the trigger, click the slider.
NOTE: If you disable a trigger, no new scheduled executions of the tasks in the plan occur. You can still manually trigger plan runs. |
When you create or select a task, you can modify its settings through the context panel on the right.
Task context menu options:
When you create a flow task, you first search for the flow that you wish to run.
When a task is executed, the recipes in the flow that have been selected in the task are executed, and if successful, their selected outputs are generated.
NOTE: In a flow, all recipes that you wish to have executed by the corresponding task must have a defined output object. For each output object, you must create at least one write settings or publication object. During plan runs, these objects are not validated, and missing outputs are ignored. |
Flow task - select flow |
When you locate the flow to execute, select it.
Select the outputs that you wish to have generated for the flow.
Flow task - select outputs |
To save the task, click Create task.
The saved task is displayed in the context panel.
Review the datasources for the task, including a full path to the source location.
Flow task - Sources tab |
Review the outputs that you have selected for the task to generate.
Flow task - Outputs tab |
If the flow from which the task was created contains parameters, you can review those parameters and apply overrides as necessary.
Flow task - Parameters tab |
To apply overrides:
In the Manage Parameters dialog, mouse over the Value entry for the desired parameter. Click the Edit icon.
Tip: You can use the Search box to locate parameters by name. |
Whenever the flow task is executed, this override value is applied to the execution of the flow task.
You can review the details of individual executions of your plan. Click the Runs link in the upper-right corner.
Run details |
The latest plan run is displayed. You can review the progress of individual tasks throughout the plan run. To cancel a run in progress, click Cancel plan run.
Tip: When a plan is triggered, a snapshot of the flows and all of their dependencies is created. This snapshot is used for executing the plan. The results of the plan run are based on the state of your flows when the snapshot was created. |
You can track all of the runs across all of your plans. See Plan Runs Page.
