This tutorial shows how workflow actions work inside Advanced ETL Processor packages. Use it when you need to understand starting points, success paths, error paths, loop endings, and why one badly linked action can make a workflow look like a plate of spaghetti.
What You Will Learn
- Create a package workflow from linked actions.
- Set the package starting point before execution.
- Use On Success, On Error, and On Loop End paths.
- Read action and package execution results after a run.
Before You Start
Use a test repository or safe sample data while following the tutorial. Production jobs are a poor place to experiment.
Package Docs For Workflow Actions
This tutorial explains how package actions are connected and executed in Advanced ETL Processor. A package is the container for the workflow. Each action returns a result, and that result decides which action runs next. It is tidy when planned properly. It is modern art when it is not.
The package getting-started documentation covers creating a new package, the package screen overview, action types, setting the starting point, linking actions, and removing links.
For larger workflows, also review catch-all actions, default error paths, default success paths, action execution results, and package execution results.
