XML code for workflow definitions

The XML code that you create for defining input parameters for the Workflow Job contains information about all the input parameters defined for the TrueSight Orchestration process, as well as information for organizing these parameters on the Workflow Job panels. The following topics provide related information:

This XML code must adhere to the WorkflowDefinition.xsd XML schema, of which a copy is available in Copy-of-WorkflowDefinition-xsd-for-XML-validation.

All defined elements are created according to the order in which they appear in your XML code. The following example XML code highlights the basic elements (with all other subordinate nodes collapsed). This example presents one page with two parameters enclosed within a group and a third parameter standing on its own.

 ^{1 If you specify an invalid default value for a Boolean type parameter, a value of false is used instead. Similarly, if you specify an invalid default value for a numeric parameter, a value of 0 is used instead. If you specify an invalid default target server, the corresponding field on the Workflow Job panel displays "invalid default value" (and you should choose a different value during job configuration).}
