Description:
This step runs a SQL Server job.
Inputs
- connectionString – database connection string
- jobName – MS SQL server job name
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Please refer to the SQL Server documentation for setting up a SQL job within Microsoft SQL Server:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/agent/create-a-job?view=sql-server-2017#SSMSProcedure
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “executeJobDef” example.
- Create a new process definition named “executeJobDef” and open it in designer mode.
- Drag an “executeJob” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” step and “executeJob” steps, as shown above.
- Click the “executeJob” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the connection string from the drop-down list. Provide a variable or global that contains the SQL job name, or enter the actual job name. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.
- The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create an instance, and execute it. This step should perform the job on the selected database server.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link provided and later import them (drag-and-drop) into your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
