The basic elements of the Workflow Manager are Connections and Jobs.  Users can create, edit and delete Workflow elements.

Connections

Connections can be either a Database connection based on PostgreSQL, ESRI ArcSDE, Oracle or MS SQL Server databases or a WFS connection.

Jobs

Jobs are a set of Tasks that run to perform a complex ‘Job’.  The Tasks that run can be dependant on one another so that a job only completes if the dependant task completes successfully.

Tasks can be either database Stored procedures, Visual Basic Scripts, Spatial Data Transforms using the ‘ogr2ogr.exe’ program or Programs. For more information on the ogr2ogr.exe please see the Ogr Documentation.

Jobs can be scheduled to run over night to keep data up-to-date, using Microsoft Windows Scheduler.
