Analyze Workflow Summary

This component extracts information from a workflow summary XML file that can be obtained from either the File > Export > Workflow Summary (JSON/XML)… menu in KNIME Analytics Platform, or from a KNIME Server's REST API.

On the KNIME Analytics Platform, a workflow summary is extracted for the currently opened, executed and saved workflow in the workflow editor.

This component extracts the node names, node configurations, predecessor and successor nodes, execution status, node type, if the node is deprecated, and if it’s a metanode/component, names of the nodes and their occurrences, and the reader and writer nodes and the corresponding data locations, into a table representation based on the workflow summary file in XML format. If the “Include execution information“ option is checked when creating the workflow summary XML file, also the execution environment and installed plugins will be provided in the component’s table outputs.

Large workflows with lots of nested components and metanodes will inherently result in large workflow summary XML files. Analyzing such large summaries could take a long time and the resulting tables could be too big. In such cases, limiting the depth of analysis for nested components/metanodes with the component dialog is recommended.

Options

Custom value for depth of analysis
Up to how many levels/layers we should look for nodes inside nested components. Chosing the value 0 means analyzing only the top level Nodes. Similarly, chosing 1 implies we will go one layer deeper, from the top level, into the components/metanodes.
Limit the analysis of nested components
Select how deep we should look inside nested components or metanodes in a workflow. This affects the execution time of the component.
