Creating a Flow

In order to schedule a job, you must first create a job object, and then add it to a flow or create a new flow. A deployed flow is a group of jobs and their dependencies that have been deployed for scheduling.

To create a new flow,

From the navigation tree, select the Schedule Manager plug-in, and then select New Flow from the Actions menu, the pop-up menu, or the toolbar. The New Flow window appears.
In the New Flow window, provide a name and location for the flow. Then select the scheduling server and the jobs that the flow should contain. The drop-down list for the Scheduling Server field lists all of the defined scheduling servers. Select the server that you want to use to run the current flow.

The Available Items field lists all of the jobs that have been defined and deployed for scheduling. Select a job and use the arrows to move the job to the Selected Items list to include it in the flow.

Note: Flows stored in project repositories are not visible in the Folders view in SAS Management Console. Flows scheduled using an in-process scheduling server cannot be scheduled using Schedule Manager. They must be scheduled from within the SAS application (such as SAS Web Report Studio).
Click OK to close the window and create the flow.
