Managing Workflow Versions

Scenario

This section describes how to manage workflow versions, including Copying a Workflow Version, Editing a Workflow Version, Submitting a Workflow Version, Activating/Deactivating a Workflow Version, and Deleting a Workflow Version.

Copying a Workflow Version

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > SecMaster.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.

In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. On the displayed page, select the Workflows tab.

In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.

On the Version Management slide-out panel, in the version information area, locate the row containing the desired workflow version, and click Copy in the Operation column.
In the dialog box displayed, click OK.

Editing a Workflow Version

You can only edit a workflow version whose version status is To be submitted or Rejected.

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > SecMaster.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.

On the Version Management slide-out panel, in the version information area, locate the row containing the desired workflow version, and click Edit in the Operation column.

On the workflow canvas, drag basic, workflow, and plug-in nodes from Resource Libraries on the left to the canvas on the right.

**Table 1** Resource Libraries parameters
Parameter			Description
Basic	Basic Node	StartEvent	The start of the workflow. Each workflow can have only one start node. The entire workflow starts from the start node.
		EndEvent	The end of the workflow. Each workflow can have multiple end nodes, but the workflow must end with an end node.
		UserTask	When the workflow execution reaches this node, the workflow is suspended and a to-do task is generated on the Task Center page. The subsequent nodes in the workflow continue to be executed only after the user task is completed. Table 2 describes the manual review parameters.
		Step	Another workflow added in the workflow. It is equivalent to the loop body in the workflow.
	System Gateway	ExclusiveGateway	For diverged line flows, the workflow chooses only the first line flow that matches the conditional expression to proceed. During line flow converging, the workflow chooses the line flow first arrives to proceed.
		ParallelGateway	During line diverging, all lines are executed. During line converging, the subsequent node can be executed only when all lines arrive. (If one line fails, the entire workflow fails.)
		InclusiveGateway	During line diverging, all lines that match conditional expressions are executed. The subsequent node can be executed only when all executed diverged lines arrive the inclusive gateway. (If one line fails, the entire workflow fails.)
Workflows			You can select all released workflows in the current workspace.
Plug-ins			You can select all plug-ins in the current workspace.

**Table 2** UserTask parameters
Parameter	Description
Primary key ID	A primary key ID is generated by the system. You can change it if needed.
Name	Name of the manual review node.
Valid Till	Time the manual review node expires.
Description	Description of the manual review node.
View Parameters	Click . On the Select Context pane displayed, select a parameter. To add a parameter, click Add Parameter.
Manual Processing Parameters	Input Parameter Key. To add a parameter, click Add Parameter.

After the design is complete, click Save and Submit in the upper right corner. In the automatic workflow verification dialog box displayed, click OK.

If the workflow verification fails, check the workflow based on the failure message.

Submitting a Workflow Version

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > SecMaster.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.

In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. On the displayed page, select the Workflows tab.

Figure 8 Workflows tab
In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.

Figure 9 Version Management page
On the Version Management slide-out panel, in the version information area, locate the row containing the desired workflow version, and click Submit in the Operation column.

Figure 10 Submitting a workflow version
In the confirmation dialog box, click OK to submit the workflow version.
- After the workflow version is submitted, the Version Status changes to Pending Review.
- After a workflow version is submitted, it cannot be edited. If you need to edit it, you can create a version or reject it during review.

Activating/Deactivating a Workflow Version

Only workflow versions in the Inactive state can be activated.
Each workflow can have only one activated version.
After the current version is activated, the previously activated version is deactivated. For example, if the V2 version is activated this time, the V1 version in the activated state is deactivated and changes to the deactivated state.

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > SecMaster.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.

In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.

Deleting a Workflow Version

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > SecMaster.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.
