Run and Debug a Workflow

Run your first Workflow

As with designing workflows, the steps to run a workflow are very similar to running a pipeline.

Click the ‘run’ button Run in your workflow toolbar

In the workflow run dialog, hit the ‘New’ button in the upper right corner to create a new ‘Workflow run configuration’.

Hop - New Workflow Config

In the dialog that pops up, add ‘Local Workflow’ as the workflow configuration name and choose the ‘Local workflow engine’.

Hop - New Workflow Config Dialog

Click ‘OK’ to return to the workflow run dialog.

Choose the logging level as described below.

This workflow with our very basic pipeline should execute in less than one second. You’ll now have the execution results pane which again looks very similar to the pipeline execution results.
