Call Workflow Service (deprecated)

Workflow AbstractionWorkflow Invocation

This node has been deprecated and its use is not recommended. Please search for updated nodes instead.

Calls another workflow and obtains the results for further processing in this workflow. The workflow can receive inputs via Workflow Service Input nodes and return outputs using Workflow Service Output nodes.

Each Workflow Service Input node in the workflow to be called will create an input port on this node when finishing the configuration of the Call Workflow Service node. Similarly, each Workflow Service Output node will create an output port on the node.

The called workflow can be located on a KNIME Server or in the Local Workspace. If the workflow is located on a KNIME Server, the execution will take place on the server. In contrast, when using the Workflow Executor node, the execution will always be performed in the workflow containing the Workflow Executor node.

The difference between this node and the Call Workflow (Table Based) node is the set of supported workflow input and output nodes. This node supports the Workflow Service Input and Workflow Service Output nodes, which support arbitrary port types and are more efficient than the various Container Input and Container Output nodes. The container input and output nodes on the other hand expect and produce data in a format that can easily be produced by third-party software, whereas Workflow Service Input and Workflow Service Output nodes are designed exclusively to be used by other KNIME workflows.

To define which Workflow Service Input node receives data from which of this node's input ports, each input node defines a parameter identifier. The parameter identifier is supposed to be unique, but it might happen that a workflow has multiple input nodes defining the same parameter name. In this case, KNIME will make the parameter names unique by appending the input node's node ID to the parameter name, e.g., "input-table" becomes "input-table-7".

Node details

Input ports
  1. Type: File System
    KNIME server connection
    Optional connection to a KNIME Server where the workflow to be executed is located. If connected, the execution of the workflow will be performed on that server.
Inputs (Dynamic Inport)
One output port for each Workflow Service Input node in the workflow to be executed. The ports are automatically created when finishing the configuration of the node.
