A workflow is a script that is uploaded to and managed by the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance by itself. For information on scripting, see Working with CLI Scripting in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide, Release OS8.7.0. Workflows can be parameterized and executed in a first-class fashion from either the browser user interface (BUI) or the command line interface (CLI). For information on maintenance workflows, see Maintenance Workflows in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide, Release OS8.7.0. Workflows may also be optionally executed as alert actions or at a designated time. As such, workflows allow for the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance to be extended in ways that capture specific policies and procedures, and can be used to formally encode best practices for a particular organization or application. For information on alert actions, see Configuring Alerts in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide, Release OS8.7.0.
