Exploring runs, cycles, and bundles exercise
Understand how runs, cycles, and bundles behave using the execution history of a scenario.
Exercise overview
Practice with different scenario configurations to explore using runs and cycles.
Steps to follow
-
Clone the scenario named “Sharing variables between routing paths.” Name the new scenario “Sharing variables between routing paths - Cycles test.”
-
Remove the Send an email module, as it’s not needed for this test.
Set up your scenario to process 3 cycles per run. Process 5 projects in each cycle.
-
Click the trigger module and change the Maximal field to 5, so only 5 projects are processed in each cycle.
-
In the Search criteria, remove the second filter that restricts the search to a single project.
-
Click OK.
-
In the Fusion toolbar, open Scenario settings and change the Max number of cycles field from 1 to 3.
-
Click OK.
Schedule the scenario to run every minute.
-
Click the clock icon by the trigger module and change the Minutes field to 1 minute.
-
Next, switch the Scheduling toggle under the Run once button to On. Save your scenario.
-
Go to the Execution History for the scenario and watch as a new history record appears within the next minute. You may need to refresh the page.
-
Click the Details button of a run. Click through the Simple log in the right panel, similar to what you did in the execution history portion of the Workfront Fusion training.
-
Records of processed operations are sectioned into cycles.
-
A drop-down menu at the top-right of the window allows you to select any of the 3 cycles you set up to run every time.
