Introducing Sheer DNA

Workflow

A workflow consists of several tasks grouped together and arranged in a flowchart. All workflows are stored on the Sheer DNA Gateway. After a workflow is deployed, it is accessible using Sheer DNA Manage in order to view properties and status. Deployed workflow templates can be invoked via the Sheer DNA API using BQL. In addition, the user can view a history of the invoked workflows using Sheer EventVision. For more information, refer to this guide and the Cisco Active Network Abstraction Workflow User’s Guide.
