Last updated on

Pipeline Activities​

Pipeline activities (automated activities) execute by:

  • Triggering the associated Harness pipeline
  • Passing activity inputs to the pipeline
  • Tracking pipeline execution status
  • Capturing pipeline outputs

Manual Activities​

  • Going into an "on hold" or "waiting for input" state
  • Sending notifications to assigned users
  • Waiting for users to record their inputs and finalize them
  • Completing once user provides sign-off or input

Subprocess Activities​

Subprocess activities execute by:

  • Invoking the nested process
  • Executing the subprocess phases and activities
  • Propagating status back to the parent process

Dependencies​

Activities execute based on their dependencies:

  • Activities wait for their dependencies to complete
  • Dependencies can be configured between activities within a phase
  • Dependencies control the execution order
