| <b>MoDisco workflow</b> provides a mechanism to initialize and launch a workflow of discoverers, generators and model transformations. These workflows are defined on top of the Eclipse platform's launch configuration mechanism. |
| </p> |
| <p>A MoDisco workflow is created as a launch configuration, which itself consists of an ordered list of launch configurations. When launching the workflow, each launch configuration is launched in the order specified in the workflow.</p> |

| <p>A MoDisco workflow is defined in a launch configuration: select |
| <b>Run > Run Configurations...</b> in the main menu, or click on the arrow on the |
| <b>Run</b> button in the toolbar |
| <img border="0" src="../../img/workflow/MoDiscoWorkflow-Execution.png"/> and then select |
| <b>Run Configurations...</b>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <img border="0" src="../../img/workflow/MoDiscoWorkflow_Run_Configuration.png"/> |
| </p> |
| <p>You can now build your MoDiscoWorkflow:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Add a launch configuration to the MoDiscoWorkflow as a work item using the |
| <b>Load...</b> button |
| </li> |
| <li>Remove a selected work item using the |
| <b>Remove</b> button |
| </li> |
| <li>Move a selected work item up or down in the MoDiscoWorkflow using the |
| <b>Up</b> or |
| <b>Down</b> buttons |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The workflow component provides a simple workflow engine (only sequential execution, no binding of parameters, etc.).</p> |
| <h3 id="Add_a_work_item">Add a work item</h3> |
| <p>After clicking on the "Load..." button, you must choose a launch configuration to add to the workflow:</p> |
| <p> |
| <img border="0" src="../../img/workflow/MoDiscoWorkflow_SelectLaunchConfiguration.png"/> |
| </p> |
| <h3 id="Run_your_MoDisco_Workflow">Run your MoDisco Workflow</h3> |
| <p>When you have finished building your MoDiscoWorkflow, click on the |
| <b>Run</b> button. An error window opens if one or more MoDiscoWork items are not valid. Every MoDiscoWork item must be valid in order to be able to run the MoDiscoWorkflow. |
| </p> |
| <h2 id="Current_limitations">Current limitations</h2> |
| <p>It is currently not possible to bind the parameters between components. Furthermore, the workflow is executed in a sequential way.</p> |
