5. Submitting runs

We've defined our workflow, started the Coflux server, and started an agent. The final step is to submit a run of our workflow.

Using the web UI​

We can do this in the web UI:

  1. Select the print_greeting workflow in the sidebar.
  2. Click the 'Run...' button.
  3. Enter a name (it must be JSON-encoded (e.g., "Joe", in quotes).
  4. Click 'Run'.

In the web UI, you'll see the run graph appear as the run executes.

Exploring the run​

From the graph you can see the relationship between steps. You can also switch to timeline and logs views. And select steps to see details related to the specific step. You should be able to find the result from the build_greeting step, and this result being logged by the print_greeting step.

Using the CLI​

You can also submit runs using the CLI:

coflux submit hello.py print_greeting '"Joe"'

(Note the need to tripple-quote the argument.)

Next steps​

Congratulations on defining and starting your first run. Continue with the documentation or try defining another workflow.
