Executing Workflows

To execute a workflow, use the execute command from within the context of the selected workflow. If the workflow takes no parameters, it simply executes:

dory:maintenance workflow-000> execute 
hello world!

If the workflow takes parameters, the context becomes a captive context in which parameters must be specified:

dory:maintenance workflow-000> execute 
dory:maintenance workflow-000 execute (uncommitted)> get
                         type = (unset)
                    overwrite = (unset)

Any attempt to commit the execution of the workflow without first setting the requisite parameters results in an explicit failure:

dory:maintenance workflow-000 execute (uncommitted)> commit
error: cannot execute workflow without setting property "type"

To execute the workflow, set the specified parameters, and then use the commit command:

dory:maintenance workflow-000 execute (uncommitted)> set type=system 
                         type = system
dory:maintenance workflow-000 execute (uncommitted)> set overwrite=true
                    overwrite = true
dory:maintenance workflow-000 execute (uncommitted)> commit

If the workflow has specified steps, those steps are displayed via the CLI, for example:

dory:maintenance workflow-000 execute (uncommitted)> commit
Checking for existing worksheet ... done
Finding disks of specified type ... done
Creating worksheet ... done
