  • Task name - a unique name for the task
  • Description (optional) - a more thorough description of the task. This text will appear when the cursor hovers over the task in the Task Menu
  • Version - a unique version number for the given task name. The combination of Task name + Version must be unique (i.e., no other task already installed can have the same combination)

  • Executable - provide a full path to the executable that this task will run (Figure 5) by clicking Browse. The executable is the main binary or script to call when the user added task is run. In the example in Figure 3, the full path is /home/flow/.partekflow/user_tasks. The dialog (Figure 5 inset) lists all the available executables stored in the directory. Select the file and click Continue to proceed. Note that the flow server user must have execute permission on the binary. 


    SECURITY WARNING - Since binaries in this folder will be accessible through the Partek Flow web user interface, this directory should be highly restricted from modification by non-administrator users.
