Sub-workflow Action Plugin

This action plugin is used to wrap an entire workflow, defined separately, into a step that can be used in another workflow. In this way, a complex workflow can be composed of sub-workflows.

Saved Parameters Description

• Name: The name used to identify a saved SubWorkflow configured instance.
• Associated with Workflow: The workflow that will be executed.
• Map Error state to: Allows to specify the exit status of the step if the sub workflow terminates with an error. By default the exit status is FAILURE.
• Use true name: If checked, the work order will be launched without the user-name or timestamp.
• Use work order status: If checked, the work order will end with sub-workflow's status instead of the last step's status.

Inputs Description

The list of inputs depends on the configuration of the Sub-workflow action template.

When an associated workflow is selected, all inputs will be exposed. The input name can be changed if needed.

Outputs Description

Outputs are exposed only if they are provided with a name. By default, no output is exposed to the parent workflow.

Operating Instructions

This plugin executes a workflow as a black box step in a parent workflow.
