Workflows are a type of automated management tool for data processing processes. You can drag different types of nodes on the configuration tab of a workflow to easily configure scheduling dependencies for the nodes. This helps accelerate the construction of a data processing process and effectively improve task development efficiency.
Feature description
DataWorks provides the following two types of workflows to meet different business requirements: auto triggered workflow and manually triggered workflow.
Auto triggered workflows are suitable for scenarios in which you want workflows to be scheduled on a regular basis. You can configure scheduling rules to allow workflows to be automatically run at a specified time. For example, you can configure scheduling rules to allow workflows to be scheduled by hour, by day, or by week.
Manually triggered workflows are suitable for scenarios in which workflows do not need to be scheduled on a regular basis. You can manually trigger the running of the workflows based on your business requirements.
