2.2. Starting the Workflow Manager¶

The Workflow Manager can be started from within the bootstrap environment with,

(bootstrap)$ edm run -e force-pyXX -- force_wfmanager

where force-pyXX is the BDSS runtime environment. Alternatively one can enter the runtime environment, e.g. force-py36,

(bootstrap)$ edm shell -e force-py36

and then,

(force-py36)(bootstrap)$ force_wfmanager

2.2.1. Views¶

The Workflow Manager has two major UI components or “views”:

Setup Workflow: For constructing the workflow, selecting parameters and KPIs and selecting an optimizer.

View Results: For viewing the results of an optimization.

You can switch between the views with the top-left button in the tool-bar: the label of this button will change accordingly. We will consider the two views, in turn, over the next two topics.
