Defining flows in LSF without the Schedule Manager plugin?

RichardP — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:22:48 GMT

Hello,

We currently define LSF flows in the Schedule manager plugin of the Management console. I was however wondering if there were any methods for creating a flow directly in LSF, bypassing the schedule manager? I appreciate that the version of LSF bundled with SAS has reduced functionality but perhaps someone has experimented with this? any info welcome!

regards,

Richard

Hi @RichardP

You can use Flow Editor which is part of platform process manager to define flows and schedule them.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I came across this is the documentation -

Flow Editor may not be installed if you purchased the Platform Suite for SAS. You
can purchase Flow Editor from Platform Computing.

It seems we do have access to the flow editor.

Richard

Hi @RichardP

Yes, you are right. Even the site I was supporting previously had flow editor. Thanks for pointing that out and since you have it available I think you should be able to bypass SMC now. 🙂
