Editing a workflow

  1. To edit an active worklow, select Advanced Model Explorer from the Tools and Workflow Launcher -menu. To add a new processor into the workflow, select Available services from the menu.
  2. warning.gif While editing the workflow the Reflex Workflow Launcher should be closed.
  3. All available processors are displayed in the Available services -window.
  4. To import a processor to a workflow, right-click the processor and select Add to model. User can also name the processor or replace an existing processor with this one by selecting it from Add as alternate to.... Selecting Invoke executes the processor as a stand-alone. Notice that processors can be searched with name.

  5. Expanding a processor shows its inputs and outputs. Right-clicking on an output pops up Connect output to ... -menu, which allows the output to be connected to another processor's input.

  6. Right-clicking an input, opens a menu, which allows the user to select if the processor will use only the first input or a list of inputs (Merge all data).

  7. Right-clicking an input under workflow inputs opens a menu, which allows the user to set the input from another processor, rename the input or remove it from the model altogether.

  8. Right-clicking the processor opens a processor menu. From here user can remove the processor from the model or rename it. Selecting Add breakpoint adds a stopping point in the workflow. Selecting Coordinate from the user can set dependencies on other processors.

  9. You do not need to speficy values for all inputs.
  10. A workflow must have at least one input and one output.
  11. An output of a recipe can be connected to several different inputs. For example, try adding DS9 viewing in the middle of the workflow by making a connection from a recipe output to the DS9 invocator.
  12. To prevent the Recipe input configuration -window from displaying for a recipe, use an input or a string constant to set the recipe processor parameter mode to auto. This will result in automatically executing the recipe with the default parameters if all required input files are defined in the workflow. If any input files are missing, the Recipe input configuration -window will be displayed even, if the interactive mode is set.
  13. To save an edited workflow, press Save in the Advanced model explorer window. The Reset button resets the workflow to a previously saved version.
