Creating a directory workflow

These topics provide detailed examples of the steps for using the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio application to create a workflow that generates a directory listing and then runs a command on each file in the directory. The workflow produced from these examples is called Copy Files in Directory.

The example workflow is built modularly and contains other workflows, also called processes, that perform the operations needed to accomplish the larger goal. These examples focus on the actual steps of creating a workflow. Detailed information about why you create workflows and about the tools that you use is contained in other topics.
