Call Workflow Service

Workflow AbstractionWorkflow Invocation
Drag & drop
Like

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 local or remote. If the workflow is remote, e.g., on the KNIME Hub, the execution will also be remote. When the workflow is local, the execution will be performed on the machine on which the Analytics Platform is running. In contrast to the Workflow Executor node, this node does not require the workflow to be read using a Workflow Reader 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

File System Connection (Dynamic Inport)
An optional connection to a file system that contains the callee workflow or a hub instance that provides deployed workflows. The callee workflow will be executed where it is located, e.g., on the KNIME Hub. If a Hub Authenticator is connected, only workflows that have previously been deployed can be executed. If a Space Connector or Mountpoint connector is connected, any workflow can be selected and executed.

Inputs (Dynamic Inport)
One input 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.
