Temporary fix

Comments

  • -------------  ENHANCEMENTS  -------------
    z/OSMF Workflow task provides two important new features as
    below:
    
    1. During workflow creation time, user can select and import a
    property file in which many variables that will be used in this
    workflow can be pre-defined with key-value pairs in it. User can
    use this feature to avoid tedious variable input actions.
    
    2. When all required variables have been satisfied and the step
    is in a suitable state,  user can start an automation process to
    perform a series of workflow steps without any user interaction
    or waiting, when one step complete, following steps will start
    performing automatically.
