note

The filename of the Workflow will start with your FarEarth subscription ID, followed by the ID of the Archive you created, and ending with ".workflow.json".

STEP 8​

  • Add a single archiving step to the Workflow
{
  "id": "<subscription-id>.<archive>",
  "displayName": "Archive",
  "description": "An archiving Workflow",
  "steps": [
    {
        "id": "archive-0",
        "executorId": "<subscription-id>.<archive-id>",
        "displayName": "Archiving",
        "multi": true,
        "optional": false,
        "continueOnFail": false,
        "parameters": {
            "dataset": "<dataset-id>"
        }
    }
  ]
}
caution

The id of the Workflow was configured in the previous steps. Do not change it here.

The id of the archiving step (archive-0 in the example) is the ID of the Archive that you created above.
