Workload Manager -  OMSUBMIT

 

The Workload of a Workflow is managed by a process called “omsubmit”.  Omsubmit executes on each individual machine that the Workflow uses, including Remote Agents.  This means that if a Workflow uses a Remote Agent to execute a Workflow Activity, a separate instance of omsubmit will start up on the Remote Agent. 

 

The job of omsubmit is to manage the Workflow at two levels.  First, it manages the Workflow “chaining” process.  It understands based on the defined “chaining” what Workflow Activities should execute.  Omsubmit also manages the results logs of the Workflow and sends the results to the Knowledgebase Server for centralized logging.  Omsubmit also manages executing Workflows in Parallelized Mode when it is enabled.
