Workflows

Set of rules (grouped by workflow event) to be executed sequentially for every given job being processed.

A workflow can be assigned to be executed on any seed.

Workflow Events

A virtual set of rules to be executed sequentially that lives inside a workflow object, there are 7 different events possible, each event is triggered upon different stages within the lifespan of a document:

• onScan
  
  • Executed for each document after it has been discovered (as soon as its parent document discovers it)
• onAddUpdate
  • Executed once the document is identified to have one of the following actions based on its incremental state: add or update
• onDelete
  • Executed once the document is identified to be deleted (action: delete)
• onPublish
  • Executed after onAddUpdate or onDelete, this is the event when all common publishing rules should be placed regardless of the document action
• onError
  • Executed if any stage within the connector framework or workflow rule fails while processing a job.
• onIdentity
  • Executed for each identity extracted in an Identity crawl.
• onIdentityError
  • Executed if any stage within the connector framework or workflow rule fails while processing an identity job.
