Tasks Overview

We can create reusable tasks in the Task Developer. Or, create and add tasks in the Workflow or Worklet Designer as you develop the workflow.

The following table summarizes workflow tasks available in Workflow Manager:

Task Name	Tool	Reusable	Description
Assignment	Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	No	Assigns a value to a workflow variable.
Command	Task Developer Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	Yes	Specifies shell commands to run during the workflow. You can choose to run the Command task if the previous task in the workflow completes.
Control	Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	No	Stops or aborts the workflow.
Decision	Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	No	Specifies a condition to evaluate in the workflow. Use the Decision task to create branches in a workflow.
Email	Task Developer Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	Yes	Sends email during the workflow.
Event-Raise	Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	No	Represents the location of a user-defined event. The Event-Raise task triggers the user-defined event when the Integration Service runs the Event-Raise task.
Event-Wait	Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	No	Waits for a user-defined or a predefined event to occur. Once the event occurs, the Integration Service completes the rest of the workflow.
Session	Task Developer Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	Yes	Set of instructions to run a mapping.
Timer	Workflow Designer  Worklet Designer	No	Waits for a specified period of time to run the next task.

The Workflow Manager validates tasks attributes and links. If a task is invalid, the workflow becomes invalid. Workflows containing invalid sessions may still be valid.
