Submit Workflow

 

Once the workflow is constructed, it can be submitted either in full or partially from the Module Manager section of g-Navigator using the shortcut buttons Module_Manager_button_executeModule_Manager_button_execute_all. Alternatively, the workflow can be submitted — either locally or to a distributed execution environment — from the main g-Platform management window via the shortcut buttons Workflow_History_button_execute_revisionWorkflow_History_button_execute_revision_distributed in the Workflow History section.

 

Submit_flowBased on this example, workflow submission behavior depends on the selected element:

 

Main Flow module (commented as a Main Flow) – all subsequent flows with all the modules within are executed sequentially.

 

Subflow Flow module (commented as a Subflow 1 or Subflow 2) – only the sequence of modules contained within that subflow is executed.

 

Individual module – only that module is executed. However, the submission is successful only if all preceding modules in the workflow have already been executed. This behavior represents a core principle of g-Platform’s interactive processing approach.

 

It is important to note that if the checkbox Module_Manager_check_box to the left of a module is unchecked, the module will not be executed during submission (In this example, the Save Item module is located in Subflow 1).

The user can also check whether a module has been submitted and successfully finished by viewing the corresponding icon (Module_Manager_module_executed_icon or Module_Manager_module_not_executed_icon) to the left of the module. Changing any module parameter resets the module status icon to Module_Manager_module_not_executed_icon.
