Linking Two or More Workflows

Question

Hi All,

I have three workflows and I want to call out the last two from within the first workflow as the output of first workflow is used as an input in the other two.

Each of them are quite extensive in their use of tools so bringing all those tools in the same workflow will become very complex to manage.

Is there a way to link them so that the first workflow runs and just before the output is taken it calls the second and third workflows and runs them.

@Dheeru28 if you work through the link that @FinnCharlton provided, you can see how to configure things for chained apps.

I converted two workflows to analytic apps. Then I changed the Interface Designer properties of the first and ran it. But the second workflow didn't run. Is there a step that I'm missing?

You can use Crew Macros 'Runners': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AiMdKp7wmk&ab_channel=DigiBytes

These macros can make the workflows run sequentially and conditionally.

I guess you also have the option of doing some funky things with Control Containers (as this provides sequencing). However, given that you're workflow sound large, I'd opt to use the macros. They've worked well for me.

All the best,
