Projects
Projects in Ouvvi are a container for tasks (steps) that run in a sequence as each step completes it moves on to the next. The Run Condition provides flow control where a Step will only run if the Running Status equals the Run Condition. This flow control prevents running steps when the previous step returns an error by setting the Run Condition to Success
Each Step is of a particular task type this might be a Data Sync task, a file copy task an API call etc.
Each step can be configured to automatically re-try this solves most temporary errors where an external service may be unavailable or recovering from a failure.
The Project also contains the Log details for each run of the project so you can navigate the history to inspect the log data for each run of the project.
Create New Project
To create a new Ouvvi project click on the New button in the Projects page view.
You then need to give your project a Name and click Save
- Name - Name of your Project
- Group Name (optional) - Group to assign project to.
- Project Start Mode
- Single Instance - only one instance of the project active at any one time this is the default for Data Sync projects.
- Normal - Multiple instances can run in parallel this is not recommended for Data Sync projects.
- Description - A description about the project recommended so that you remember what the project is for and helps with documentation.
Start Project
If the Service is installed and running you can manually start the project by clicking the Start Project button. This button is disabled if the project is already running or when the Ouvvi Service is not running.
Schedule
To run the project on a schedule Add Trigger to the project for example the 10 minute Trigger. If there is no suitable trigger available create a new Trigger under Triggers. Triggers can be reused across projects and each project assigned will be started when the trigger runs. Adding multiple triggers like 10,30 and 60 minute triggers will only trigger the project once on the trigger interval.
