Running the on-demand flow

You can use the IBM® TRIRIGA® Application Suite Connector for Envizi by controlling flows based on the activity that you want to complete.

About this task

Always-on flows

This flow runs routinely and syncs the data that is added or updated after its previous execution event. For example, if the flow runs at 2 PM, and its previous execution was at 1 PM, the flow pulls data that is added or updated after 1 PM. If you need to get data during the period between updates of the always-on flow, you can run an on-demand flow.

On-demand flows

This flow is for the initial sync or to sync data that was added or updated between specific dates. This flow is run once when needed and then stopped.

1. In App Connect, configure the following parameters in the initial Set variable node. Specify the values in the ISO 8601 format.

   Parameter	Value
   OverrideFromDate	The start timestamp of the window within which the data is pulled, for example, 2022-06-26T23:09:30-07:00.
   OverrideToDate	The end timestamp of the window within which the data is pulled, for example, 2023-06-26T23:09:30-07:00.

2. Configure the flow parameters to connect IBM TRIRIGA Application Suite and IBM Envizi
   1. In App Connect, click the initial Set variable node.
   2. Click Variable > config > customer and enter the value that is provided by Envizi.
   3. Click Variable > config > triURL and enter the URL for the TRIRIGA Application Suite instance.
3. Start the flow.
   1. In App Connect, on the Dashboard, inside the flow, or on the tile for the flow, click the menu icon.
   2. Click Start API.
4. After the flow is completed, click Stop API.
