Operator

Description

Workflow Trigger

The Workflow Trigger operator sends a start message, which you can use to start a data workflow. This operator has one output port. Once started, the operator sends a message on its output port. If the output port is connected, the next data workflow operator starts its execution. But, if the output port is unconnected, the data workflow execution fails.

Workflow Terminator

The Workflow Terminator operator helps shut down the data workflow execution. it shuts down the data workflow. The data workflow terminates with the state, Completed.
