This repository contains a number of sample workflow definitions (XML files) and other associated materials to help demonstrate various capabilities of z/OSMF workflows.
It is recommended that you load these samples and observe their behavior in the z/OSMF Workflows task as you read this information.
Start with the following samples, which show a basic workflow definition, and demonstrate the use of language bundles and variables
| Filename | Description |
|---|---|
| workflow_sample_basic.xml | Shows the most basic workflow. It contains one step with only the required elements. |
| workflow_sample_variables.xml | Shows the use of variables that require user input. |
More advanced concepts are illustrated in the following samples.
| Filename | Description |
|---|---|
| workflow_sample_array_variables.xml | Shows the use of array variables in a workflow. |
| workflow_sample_array_property.txt | Shows a sample workflow array variable input file, for use with workflow_sample_array_variables.xml. |
| workflow_sample_automation.xml | Shows the use of automated steps in a workflow. |
| workflow_sample_automation_property.txt | Shows a sample workflow variable input file, for use with workflow_sample_automation.xml. |
| workflow_sample_calledwfBasic.xml | Shows an example of a called workflow. This workflow is called by specifying its workflow ID. |
| workflow_sample_calledwfMD5.xml | Shows an example of a called workflow. This workflow is called by specifying its MD5 encrypted value (a 128-bit hash value). |
| workflow_sample_calledwfVarMapping1.xml | Shows an example of a called workflow. This example shows how variables can be mapped from the calling workflow to the called workflow. |
| workflow_sample_calledwfVarMapping2.xml | Shows an example of a called workflow. This example shows how variables can be mapped from the called workflow to the calling workflow. |
| workflow_sample_condition.xml | Shows the use of conditional steps in a workflow. |
| workflow_sample_feedback.xml | Shows an example of a feedback form that can be used to gather input on a step from the step owner. |
| workflow_sample_file_template0.xml | Shows the use of a file creation template. |
| workflow_sample_include_external.xml | Shows the use of a DTD to make references to the external files workflow_sample_fragment0.xml and workflow_sample_fragment1.xml. This sample also demonstrates other features of steps, and uses some HTML tags within a step description. |
| workflow_sample_output.xml | Shows an example of writing generated variables to an output file. |
| workflow_sample_parallel_steps.xml | Shows the use of parallel steps in a workflow. |
| workflow_sample_program_execution.xml | Shows an example of running an inline executable program (a UNIX shell script) from within a step. |
| workflow_sample_predefinedVariable.xml | Shows the use of predefined variables in workflow steps. |
| MyTemplate.txt | Shows a sample workflow file template file, for use with workflow_sample_predefinedVariable.xml. |
| workflow_sample_rexx_template0.txt | Shows how to invoke a REXX exec from a workflow. |
| workflow_sample_substeps.xml | Shows the use of substeps and the use of step prerequisites to establish dependency chains. |
| workflow_sample_translation.xml | Shows a basic workflow that refers to a language bundle file. This workflow is used with workflow_sample_bundle0.txt. |
| workflow_sample_wf2wf.xml | Is a workflow that calls another workflow for processing. |
| workflow_sample_wizards.xml | Shows the use of instructions and wizards that use input variables. |
| workflow_sample_wizards_upgrade.xml | Shows the use of the workflow upgrade function. It upgrades the workflow that is created in the sample file workflow_sample_wizards.xml. |
| workflow_sample_dataset.xml | Shows the use of REST steps to manipulate with z/OS data set. |
| workflow_sample_smpe_report_missingfix.xml | Workflow to run an SMP REPORT MISSINGFIX command. This is a sample step that can be used for running an SMP/E REPORT MISSINGFIX for any FIXCAT. |
