SAS Visual Process Orchestration
is a web authoring environment that is launched from SAS Data Management
Console. The authoring environment provides nodes that can be used
to build
orchestration jobs, which are
process jobs that run other jobs.
An orchestration job
can integrate executable files from various systems into a single
process flow, as shown in the next display.
Orchestration Job
A single orchestration
job can run one or more executable files, such as SAS Data Integration
Studio jobs, DataFlux Data Management Studio jobs, SAS code files,
third-party programs, scripts, and web services. SAS Visual Process
Orchestration can execute referenced jobs in parallel; apply control
logic such as looping and IF/THEN/ELSE handling; and handle events,
error-checking, and run-time statistics for each node in the orchestration
job.
