TIP:
For situations such as when storage system resources and host applications are managed by different
administrators, the work status can be saved as a workflow at any point during copy pair creation
and passed from one administrator to the next. In this case, a new task is generated when the wizard
finishes, and the saved workflow is overwritten.

Saving workflows
A copy pair configuration definition may need to be saved under the following circumstances:
•
The tasks performed in the wizard might be divided between a storage system administrator who
manages the storage system resources and an application server administrator who sets up the
allocated resources according to the application. In this scenario, the storage system administrator
can save the wizard current settings as a workflow so that the application server administrator
can inherit the copy pair list that has been created.
•
When creating a copy pair configuration definition, it may be necessary to stop the wizard before
the copy pair configuration definition is completed. In this scenario, the incomplete definition can
be temporarily saved as a workflow, and then worked on again when the wizard is restarted.
If you want to temporarily save the configuration definition, click the Save button on any wizard page.
When the Save Workflow dialog box appears, specify a workflow name, and then close the wizard.
To restart the wizard to work on a saved workflow, from the Explorer menu, choose Tasks and then
Workflows. Next, select the check box of the workflow where you want to restart the wizard, and
then click the Edit Workflow button.
TIP:
A user with the Modify permission can inherit a workflow from another user only when the workflow
has been saved on the 3. Group Management or 4. Task Management wizard page. A workflow
saved on the 2. Pair Association wizard page can be edited only by the user who saved the workflow.

Viewing a list of workflows
You can view a list of workflows that were registered when Pair Configuration Wizard processing
was completed or a list of workflows saved temporarily because they were incomplete. The maximum
number of workflows is 100. In this list, you can check information such as the workflow step (the
Pair Configuration Wizard page at which the workflow was saved), creation time, and owner.
To view a list of workflows, from the Explorer menu, choose Tasks and then Workflows. Tasks are
listed in the Workflows subwindow.
