Configuring

In a z/OSMF environment, a workflow contains a series of steps that you perform to complete a common activity, such as configuring your product. For more details, seeIBM documentation.

Sometimes, a workflow might require the use of another workflow. For example, a function is already performed by another workflow in your system. Rather than duplicating the same function in your workflow, you can add a step to call the other workflow. The workflow that calls another workflow is known as the calling workflow, while the workflow that is invoked by another workflow is known as the called workflow. After the called workflow completes its task, it returns control to the calling workflow.

For online help describing each step in your product's workflow, select the required step in the workflow and click the Perform tab to view the description. For your reference, step-level help is also available in this topic.
