Workflow Management

info

Workflow observability and management features are only available for applications connected to Conductor.

Viewing Workflows​

Navigate to the workflows tab of your application's page on the DBOS Console to see a list of its workflows:

Workflow List

This includes all your application's workflows: those currently executing, those enqueued for execution, those that have completed successfully, and those that have failed. You can filter by time, workflow ID, workflow name, and workflow status (for example, you can search for all failed workflow executions in the past day).

Click on a workflow to see details, including its input and output:

Workflow Management​

You can manage individual workflows directly from the DBOS console.

Cancelling Workflows​

You can cancel any PENDING or ENQUEUED workflow. Cancelling a workflow sets is status to CANCELLED. If the workflow is currently executing, cancelling it preempts its execution (interrupting it at the beginning of its next step). If the workflow is enqueued, cancelling removes it from the queue.

Resuming Workflows​

You can resume any ENQUEUED, PENDING, CANCELLED or RETRIES_EXCEEDED workflow. Resuming a workflow sets its status to PENDING and resumes its execution from its last completed step. If the workflow is enqueued, this bypasses the queue to start it immediately.

Restarting Workflows​

You can restart any SUCCESS or ERROR workflow. Restarting a workflow restarts it from the beginning, creating a new workflow with the same inputs as the original.
