A job activity runs a job as part of a process flow. This example shows a process flow that runs two job activities: Standardize Names and Validate Addresses.
To add a job activity to a process flow, drag the job activity from the Activities folder in the palette to the canvas.
Double-click the job activity to configure the Options tab and the Variables tab.
Options Tab
The Options tab displays the runtime options available for the job. You can change the runtime options so that when the job runs the options you specify here are used for the job. For example, if one of the job's dataflow options is controls the units to use for distance and defaults to miles, you could override that option here and have distance returned in kilometers instead when the job is executed through this process flow.
Variables Tab
The Variables tab displays the source and sink stages in the dataflow. You can override the input and output files specified in the dataflow so that when the job runs in this process flow, different input or output files are used.
