Step¶
Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::Process::Step
Definition¶
Step is a reusable, parameterized activity associated to information flows. One or more steps perform an sctivity.
Examples¶
An editing activity resolves into one or more steps. A transformation of a wide data set to a long data set takes a single step on an ETL (extract, transform, load) platform like Pentaho.
Explanatory notes¶
Steps can be broken out into a sequence of sub steps ad infinitum.
