System templates

The following properties are common to all templates. They are also optional and therefore, can be skipped if not needed.

Common properties:

  • Error handling
    The Enable workflow error handling option can be set to ON to use PRIMEUR system workflows to manage errors. Enabling the toggle switch, the Select error handling template drop-down list will appear with 2 templates: one to log all variables and one to notify errors. You can find details about the ehwft_logAllVariables and ehwft_logAllVariables templates in the Workflow Error Templates section.

  • systemEnableLogDebugToFile
    Set this toggle button to ON to activate logs

Trigger type: On Demand

The On Demand trigger does not require any mandatory variable.
The On Demand triggered workflow templates are triggered by a direct API invocation via REST. This API will accept a map of variables that will be passed to the instance as process variables. Any variable explicitly declared on the template to be requested when creating the Contract is added to the set of variables coming from the REST invocation. If a variable name is used when creating the Contract and is used in the map passed via REST as well, this second one wins over the Contract one.

1. SpExec operation

system_onDemand_exec

Goal: System template that will perform a remote spExec operation when onDemand triggered.

Variables:

  • Cluster
    Steng cluster where the spExec operation is performed

  • executable
    Executable command to be run on the remote steng shell

  • arguments
    Arguments that will be passed to the selected executable command

2. Send email notification

system_onDemand_sendTemplatedEmail

Goal: System template OnDemand triggered sending a notification email.

Variables:

  • Cluster
    Cluster that performs the transport

  • Select remote server
    Select the remote server

  • mailRecipients
    Email addresses of the recipients

  • mailFrom
    Sender of the email

  • templateDefaultReplacer

Trigger type: New File

A New File trigger requires a VirtualPath.

FileSet is written by the FileBox component in the VirtualPath configured in the Contract.
The variable added to the execution is file of type FileDetail. Its attributes must be set according to the event that starts this trigger.

Common variables:

  • newFileFilter
    Enter the string to filter new files. For example, you may want the flow to be triggered only for files beginning with a specific filename or extension.

1. Push file in monitored Virtual Path and optionally send a confirmation

system_newFile_flagFile-triggerFile-outTransport

Goal: System Template triggered by a New file, that will remotely push a data file. If appropriate options are specified, it checks that a flag file exists before pushing and/or sending a confirmation file after pushing. Optionally, it can notify that the pull operation is successful using the notification channel options.

Operation:

  1. If the name of a flag file is specified, before proceeding Data One checks that a flag file exists. If the flag file is specified but not found, the workflow exits. If the flag file is not specified or if the flag file is both specified and found in the appropriate folder, Data One sends the file that triggered the workflow through Virtual Box bind to the desired destination.
  2. If the name of a confirmation file is specified, a dummy confirmation file is created and sent to the specified folder.
  3. If the Notification Channel option is specified, a notification is sent to the appropriate recipients through the selected Notification Channel.

Variables:

  • Select Virtual Path

    • When the Select Virtual Path toggle is ON: >
      Actor, VFS, VFS Path
      Destination Virtual path where data files will be pulled

    • When the Select Virtual Path toggle is OFF: >

    Remote folder where the file will be written

  • Select remote server
    Transfer profile (or Client Connection) to use to push the data file to destination

  • flagFileName
    Flag file filename
    If set, before trying to pull files, the workflow will check the presence of a Flag file with this filename and extension in the selected folder.

  • remotePathFlagFile
    Flag file folder
    Applicable only if the Flag file name is set. Remote folder where the Flag file will be verified

  • removeFlagFile
    Applicable only if the Flag file name is set. If enabled, the Flag file will be removed after successfully pulling the file.

  • confirmationFileName
    Trigger file filename
    If set, once the file is successfully pushed, a confirmation file with this filename (and extension) will be pushed

  • remotePathConfirmationFile
    Trigger file folder
    Applicable only if trigger file filename is set. Remote path where the trigger file will be pushed

  • Actor, VFS, VFS Path
    Actor, VFS and Virtual Path where the file will be placed. Applicable only if trigger file filename is set. Virtual Path for trigger file.

  • Notification Channel
    If set, the success of the push operation will be notified using the selected notification channel
