Creating a New Workflow Instance

An instance is a working version of a workflow process definition. Only a SAS Model Manager administrator can create a new workflow instance.
To create a new workflow instance, follow these steps:
  1. From the SAS Model Manager window, right-click a project or version and select New Workflow Instance. Workflow Console is launched in a Web browser and displays the New Workflow Instance window.
    Note: If you are already logged on to Workflow Console, from the Process Definitions category view, select a process definition and click Create a new workflow instance.

  2. Enter a name for the instance.
  3. The UUID of the selected project or version is already populated.
    Note: If the UUID is not already populated, you can copy the UUID property value for a project or version from the Properties view in the SAS Model Manager window. The field label and other characters that precede the UUID value must be removed.
  4. (Optional) Enter a description for the instance.
  5. Click OK. A message appears, indicating that the instance has been successfully created.
