Workflow Instances

Workflow Instance refers to a workflow execution session. The workflow instances are of two types.

1. Physical - Event-triggered workflow instances that are instantiated due to physical action of inserting a disk into a JBOD.

2. Soft - Workflow instances that are instantiated through UI or through an API invocation. Typically, these workflows process data from a network storage like S3 bucket, NFS mount point, Azure Blob store etc.

These instances are displayed in the Workflow Instances page.

Following options are displayed in this page,

• Physical: 
  • All: This option displays all the workflow instances (active, failed, complete, and aborted).

  • Complete: This option displays all the terminals that have succeeded.
  • Aborted: This option displays all the sessions that were stuck during runtime and aborted by the user due to unrecoverable error.

• Soft:  In this page the same options as displayed under Physical sessions are displayed for soft workflow instances

• Dropdown to select ‘My Workflows’ and ‘Shared workflows’
  The ‘My workflows’ refers to the workflows that are created in the current workspace. A workspace is configured to be either ‘global’ or ‘private’ at the time of onboarding. If ‘private’ workspace is configured, then ‘Shared workflows’ list down those workflows that are explicitly shared by another user.
• Filter: This option allows the user to apply additional search filters to the sessions. Specific substrings can be searched and applied.

• Show Archived: Archived sessions are hidden by default. If this option is enabled archived sessions are displayed along with unarchived sessions.
• All or Attention: The user can view sessions which require attention only by clicking the slide button towards Attention.
• Search: This option is used to search the sessions by name, id, etc.
