A Powershell Workflow is the Powershell implementation of the WWF (Windows workflow FrameWork). It brings a cool set of functionalities such as the possibilities to execute code in parallel, to create scripts that are persist to reboot, and lot’s of other neat things.
A workflow comprises a series of programming steps called activities. Workflows are integrated into Windows PowerShell thorough a set of extensions to the Windows PowerShell scripting language. One of these extensions is the workflow keyword. A workflow is defined by the workflow keyword followed by the name and the body of the workflow. In addition, Windows PowerShell provides a built-in library of activities.
A script workflow is a workflows written in the Windows PowerShell language.
Windows Workflow Foundation make life easier, it used simple and easy techniques to automate things that take a long time, it work to simplify operation against a very large scale, and that require the coordination of multiple steps across multiple machines.
Powershell Workflow works with robust multi-machine commands(Remote Commands). For Devops and administrators workflow is chance to get ride of all repetitive tasks.
Microsoft has integrated Workflow with powershell on March, 2012.
With WPW(Windows Powershell Workflow), Microsoft tried to bring an influence and new way to handle multiple computers via remote scripting on large scale. Powershell Workflow can help you to execute to action on computers where with failed network connections, reboots, and system crashes. It reduces complexity to manage large environment where administrator find very difficult to handle repetitive task.
Workflow is implemented with such an ease that users would be able to achieve simple cmdlets which will do their jobs in quick and on flow implementation.With PW, administrations will achieve performance as well as scalability without imposing a lot of complexity on the user.It Provides workflow hosting and execution functionality and it is considered as one of extensible point.
With existing PS Administrators/Devops( PS 3.0 and Above), Workflow is available with following :
* Workflow management through job cmdlets
* Provide a built in library of management tasks
* workflow as scripts and hosting on your environment
Workflow are defined by using workflow command, Examples
Workflow Awesome_WF
{
# Awesome Commands
}
With workflow commands you can write workflow, but some of the other commands are also useful to complete you job.
#The following workflow will move text files in parallel from one specific location to another.WorkFlow Move-Files
{
Param($Source,$Destination)
$Files=Get-ChildItem $Source-Filter"*.txt"
Foreach-parallel($Filein$Files)
{
Move-Item $file.FullName -Destination $Destination
}
}
# Execution Remote computer
Move-Files -PSComputerName "CORE-SVR-1" -AsJob
