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

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper part of the page and choose Security > SecMaster.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. Click Workflows.
5. In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.
6. 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.
7. 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.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper part of the page and choose Security > SecMaster.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. Click Workflows.
5. In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.
6. 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.
7. On the workflow drawing page, drag basic, workflow, and plug-in nodes from Resource Libraries on the left to the canvas on the right for workflow design.

   Table 1 Resource Libraries parameters

   Parameter			Description
   Basic	Basic Node	StartEvent	The start of a workflow. Each workflow can have only one start node. The entire workflow starts from the start node.
   		EndEvent	The end of a 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. After you complete the task, the subsequent nodes in the workflow continue to be executed. Table 2 describes the UserTask parameters.
   		SubProcess	Another workflow is started to perform cyclic operations. It is equivalent to the loop body in the workflow.
   	System Gateway	ExclusiveGateway	During line distribution, one of the multiple lines is selected for execution based on the condition expression. During line aggregation, if one of the multiple lines arrives, the subsequent nodes continue to execute the task.
   		ParallelGateway	During line distribution, all lines are executed. During line aggregation, the subsequent nodes are executed only when all the lines arrive. (If one line fails, the entire workflow fails.)
   		InclusiveGateway	During line distribution, all expressions that meet the conditions are selected for execution based on the condition expression. During line aggregation, subsequent nodes are executed only when all lines executed during traffic distribution reach 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	The system automatically generates a primary key ID, which can be changed as required.
   Workspace Name	Name of the manual review node
   Expired	Expiration time of a manual review node
   Description	Description of the manual review node
   View Parameters	Click . On the Select Context page that is displayed, select an existing parameter name. To add a parameter, click Add Parameter.
   Manual Handling Parameters	Key of the input parameter To add a parameter, click Add Parameter.
   Processed By	Set the reviewer of the workflow to the IAM user of the current account. If a workflow needs to be approved after the setting, only the owner can handle it on the Task Center page. Non-owners can only view the workflow. NOTE: In first time use, you need to obtain authorization. Detailed operations are as follows: Click Authorize. On the Access Authorization slide-out panel displayed, select Agree and click OK.

8. 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

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper part of the page and choose Security > SecMaster.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. Click Workflows.
5. In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.
6. 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.
7. 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.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper part of the page and choose Security > SecMaster.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. Click Workflows.
5. In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.
6. On the Version Management slide-out panel, in the version information area, locate the row containing the desired workflow version, and click Activate or Deactivate in the Operation column.
7. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.

Deleting a Workflow Version

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper part of the page and choose Security > SecMaster.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspaces > Management. In the workspace list, click the name of the target workspace.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Security Orchestration > Playbooks. Click Workflows.
5. In the Operation column of the target workflow, click More and select Version Management.
6. On the Version Management slide-out panel, in the version information area, locate the row of the target workflow version, and click Delete in the Operation column.
7. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
   

   Deleted workflow versions cannot be retrieved. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
