Managing Workflow Triggers
The Cascade Server workflow builder makes use of centrally managed triggers. For a trigger to be available in a workflow created with the workflow builder, it must first be defined in the system-wide trigger base.
Defining the triggers, in such a way, assigns an alias to a particular Java file that contains the trigger functionality such that that trigger can be referenced later in the workflow definition.
To add a Workflow Trigger:
- In the Administration area, go to Workflows.
- Click Manage Workflow Triggers.
- You will see a list of currently available triggers. By default, this list will reflect all available triggers currently in the default database. If you have written a custom trigger or have upgraded Cascade Server without including the default database, you will need to add new triggers before they will become available for the workflow builder.
- Under Add a Trigger, type in the name of the new trigger and click Submit.
- Your new trigger will now appear in the list and will be available for use within the Workflow Builder.
Additional Notes
Adding workflow triggers using this interface ensures that the triggers will be defined in all workflows created using the workflow builder. For workflows created without the visual builder, triggers must still be defined individually for each workflow.
