| Data processing tool | Depends on customer-specific implementation |
You can use a workflow as a set of operators that are executed as a sub-flow within another parent workflow. Doing this provides significant leverage of TIBCO Data Science – Team Studio for creating many related workflows with minimal additional effort.
Input
Data sets from the preceding operator.
Configuration
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Notes | Notes or helpful information about this operator's parameter settings. When you enter content in the Notes field, a yellow asterisk appears on the operator. |
| Sub-Flow | The workflow to use as a sub-flow. The options for
Sub-Flow are the workflows in the same workspace as the current workflow, and they appear in a drop-down menu.
Any workflow in the current folder can be used as a sub-flow except the recursive referenced one. If the recursive occurs, the system produces an error. |
| Input Table Mapping | The user can now attach the sub-flow to other operators. |
| Exit Operator | The operator in the sub-flow to use as the point of attachment for any subsequent operators in the parent workflow. The options for
Exit Operator are the operator's sub-flow workflow, and they appear in a drop-down menu.
The exit operator should have the correct structure (for example, columnnames) for the subsequent operators. If the subsequent operator does not need an input, the exit operator can be empty. Note: For Hadoop flows, only operators with stored results can be used as exit operators.

| Sub-Flow Variable | Define the values of variables in the sub-flow workflow. The values you provide are used when running the sub-flow workflow in the context of the current (parent) workflow.
