Native Workflows

What is a Workflow?

• The individual apps can be easily combined into pipelines, which are on the DNAnexus platform referenced as workflows.

• These apps are linked together by dependencies and can hand off their outputs to other apps as they complete.

• Apps in a workflow will always begin executing as soon as their inputs are satisfied and if possible they will run independently.

• Workflows can be created by clicking on the Add button and selecting the New Workflow.

This is what it will look like once you select "New Workflow"

Running and Monitoring a Workflow

Set Up and Running the Workflow

• Add the apps that you want for the workflow and order them where the dependencies are generated first

• After that, add in the necessary requirements. They are featured below:

  
• Select Start Analysis

• You will have a "pre-flight" check to make sure everything that is needed is there. Once that is complete, select Start Analysis again and it will start to run.

Monitoring a Workflow

• You will be redirected once you have started the analysis.

• The monitor has panels to show what is running, how long it took to complete, and the order they were done in.

• You can view the information in order to see the details of the workflow.
