Creating a New Workflow

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

  2. Enter a name for the workflow.
  3. The UUID of the selected version is already populated.
    Note: If the UUID is not already populated, you can copy the UUID property value for a 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. The UUID must be unique, if you enter a value that is already associated with another workflow, a confirmation window appears for you to terminate the existing workflow and replace it with the new workflow.
  4. (Optional) Enter a description for the workflow.
  5. Click OK. A message appears, indicating that the workflow has been successfully created.
