Exporting modules
After you create workflows in the
Development Studio application, if you want to deploy them on a
grid, you must export the modules to the repository.
The exported module is contained in an archive file that consists of:
- Workflows - Sets of linked activities that perform a function.
- Rules - Specify criteria that can trigger a workflow in reaction to a monitor adapter event.
- Schedule - Specifies information that runs workflows on a regular schedule, with the ability to control start, end, and frequency parameters.
- Configuration - Contains the configuration information for the module.
Exported modules in the repository are activated in
Grid Manager, making workflows in the module eligible for execution on the grid. After activating a module on a grid, the module schedule is enabled triggering workflow execution at defined intervals, and rules evaluate events to control workflow execution.
The following video (2:38) demonstrates how to export a module from Development Studio to the repository.
To export modules to the repository
- On the
Development Studio Launch Pad, click the Library Manager button.
- In Library Manager, click the Export Modules tab.
In the Export Modules table select the modules to export by clicking in the Export check box next to the module name.
Enter or select the version of the module to export.
- Click the Export to Repository button.
On the Export Confirmation window, verify the information and click Proceed.
When the export workflow is finished, the Export Confirmation window disappears, and
Development Studio displays the message Export Successful in the bottom left corner of the window.
