Workflow Microservices

Use the CDAP Workflow Microservices to access workflow tokens; list and delete local datasets used in a workflow; retrieve the state of nodes that were executed; and retrieve statistics across successful runs of a workflow.

Additional details and examples are found in Workflows.

All methods or endpoints described in this API have a base URL (typically http://<host>:11015 or https://<host>:10443) that precedes the resource identifier, as described in Microservices Conventions. These methods return a status code, as listed in the Microservices Status Codes.

Workflow Tokens

This interface supports accessing the value of workflow tokens set during runs of a workflow. Returned values can be specified for a particular scope, node or key.

Obtaining a Token's Values

To retrieve the values that were put into the workflow token for a particular run, use an HTTP GET request to the query's URL:

GET /v3/namespaces/<namespace-id>/apps/{app-id}/workflows/{workflow-id}/runs/{run-id}[/nodes/{node-id}]/token

The request can (optionally) contain a node-id to limit the request to a particular node in workflow.

Parameter

Description

Parameter

Description

namespace-id

Namespace ID

app-id

Name of the application

workflow-id

Name of the workflow

run-id

UUID of the workflow run

node-id

Name of a node in the workflow (optional)

Extending the Request

The request can be extended with query parameters:

Parameter

Description

Parameter

Description

scope

user (default) returns the token for Scope.USERsystem returns the token for Scope.SYSTEM

key

Returns the value for a specified key; if unspecified, returns all keys (optional)

Comments

If the query was successful, the body will contain the workflow token for a particular workflow run, such as:

{ "key1": [ { "nodeName": "node1", "value": "value1" }, { "nodeName": "node2", "value": "value2" } ], "key2": [ { "nodeName": "node2", "value": "v2" } ] }

Workflow Local Datasets

This interface supports listing and deleting the local datasets associated with a particular workflow run.

Listing Local Datasets

To retrieve the local datasets associated with a particular run, use an HTTP GET request to the query's URL:

Workflow State

The workflow state interface allows you to retrieve the state of all nodes that were executed as a part of a given workflow run.

To retrieve the state of a particular workflow run, use an HTTP GET request to the query's URL:

where

Parameter

Description

Workflow Statistics

These requests provide statistics across successful runs of a workflow, in a time interval, for a succession of runs, or between two specific runs. These requests will help in determining which jobs are responsible for delays or problems.

Statistics of Successful Runs

This request returns general statistics about all successful workflow runs in a particular time interval, with an analysis based on a series of (optionally) provided percentiles:

where

Parameter

Description

Parameter

Description

namespace-id

Namespace ID

app-id

Name of the application

workflow-id

Name of the workflow

start-time

Start time of runs (in seconds); if not provided, defaults to now (optional)

end-time

End time of runs (in seconds); if not provided, defaults to now-1d (optional)

percentile-1

List of percentiles (each greater than zero and less than 100) to be used for generating statistics; if not provided, defaults to 90 (optional)

If the query was successful, the body will contain a JSON structure of statistics.

Note: When specifying start and end times, in addition to giving an absolute timestamp in seconds, you can specify a relative time, using now minus an increment with units. Examples: now-<n>snow-<n>mnow-<n>h, or now-<n>d.
