Using the Workflow Manager

As we have already discussed in Chapter 3, Understanding Designer Screen and its components, the Designer client screen is divided into five sections. Similarly, the Workflow Manager screen is also divided into five sections: Navigator, Toolbar, Workspace, Output Panel, and Status bar. Refer to Chapter 3, Understanding Designer Screen and its components, for a detailed description.

The Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager has the following tools that you can use to create and execute Workflows and Tasks:

The tools are as follows:

• Task Developer: Using this component, you can create different types of tasks that you wish to add to your Workflow. The tasks created in Task Developer are reusable tasks.
• Worklet Designer: A group of reusable tasks is defined as Worklet. You can create a Worklet in Worklet Designer.
• Workflow Designer: Workflows can be created in Workflow Designer. Add different tasks to the workflow by connecting with Links.
