Getting Started With Workflows

Workflows are a collection of steps, called Workflow Activities, which are defined to execute in a particular order.  A Workflow calls other tools and processes that execute a job stream of actions.  For example, a Workflow can call a source code management tool to check-out source code.  It can then call OpenMake Meister to automate the compile and link process. It can call testing tools, static code analysis tools and email notifications.  A Workflow can execute in custom written command line scripts.  In essence, a Workflow runs like a job scheduler.  The Workflow can be executed on a scheduled basis, on-demand or triggered.

To get you started with using Workflows, execute the sample Workflows provided. This will give you the basic outline of a Workflow as well as test your installation.
