Defining Steps in Workflows

Workflow steps are a sequential set of tasks that the workflow performs. A workflow consists of multiple steps. A step is a building block of the workflow.

The structure of the step and its relation to the workflow is illustrated in the following diagram.

A combination of multiple steps defines a complex behavior of the workflow. The type of the step ID is defined through the Type attribute. The ID of the step is the key to the structure of the steps. You can describe the step in the Description field.

Following is the code snippet for a step definition fragment.

{ 
  "steps": { 
    "stepId": { 

      "description" : "Configure Apache on the NF", 
      "type" : "VRO_SSH", 
      … 
    } 
  }, 
  … 
}
