Forward Action
A Forward action starts a new job for the target workflow, delivering a binder and all
current variables from the originating workflow. A Forward action can only be added to
the end of a workflow, and requires that the target workflow has a Receive action as its
first action.
The Forward action is the only terminating action in Vantage—it does not have a
connecting pin on the right side. Thus, once you add a Forward action to a workflow (or
branch in a workflow), you cannot add any more actions, because control has passed to
another workflow with a Receive action as its origin action.
Receive Action
A Receive action is an origin action which is implemented in every service. Receive
actions are designed to receive files from other systems: workflows, SDK-based
applications, and Workflow Portal, for example. Files can also be automatically
submitted to a workflow starting with a Receive action from another workflow using
the Forward action.
Typically, workflows are created with a Receive action when they are intended for
execution by another workflow that immediately precedes this one. This ability to chain
workflows enables you to create run-time customizable workflows consisting of smaller
workflow building blocks.
Note: An origin action is required as the first action in a workflow, even if you plan to
only manually submit jobs to this workflow.
Synchronize Action
A Synchronize action is a connector action, for the sole purpose of uncluttering
workflow connectors. In workflows where there is a many-to-many relationship, instead
of drawing connections between them all, you simply connect them to a common
Synchronize action. There is no Inspector for the Synchronize action, because no
configuration is required.
The Synchronize action is used in workflows where multiple actions connect to
multiple subsequent actions. Synchronize provides a common connection point, where
all upstream actions need to be connected to all downstream actions.
