Meister's workflow automation can be used to execute any command line script, in a particular order with interdependencies defined for each step in the Workflow. Users enter the raw data (input) into Workflows and activities with Meister. Meister then updates the central Knowledge Base server, which manages specific Workflow details. Meister also creates a metadata file (output) that organizes the activities associated with Workflows. Once the activity metadata has been entered, a Command Line program called omsubmit performs the heavy lifting of managing your Workflow. Omsubmit performs dependency analysis against your various activities and executes a chain of activities based on the success or failure of each step. In addition, a program called omcommandline.jar initiates the work of omsubmit.
