This sounds like you just want to add it as a so-called nested workflow - to add a workflow (as a processor) inside another workflow. If you use the "Add Nested Workflow" button you can select the workflow from your local disk, as previously saved with File->Save. The main disadvantage of doing this instead of the scavenger-route is that you would not have your nested workflow in the "Available processors" panel - but would have to select the file every time you need to use it. The scavenger-route can be useful when you have many such component workflows (kind of a toolbox of nested workflows) that you want to reuse. To get the correct format of the file URIs, which admittedly can be a bit tricky on Windows due to C: and the use of spaces in folder names, but one way is to use a browser like Firefox or Chrome (but not IE, as it would open Windows Explorer) - start from file:/c| (or file:///C: or something like that) and navigate to your workflow directory. Once you've found your workflow in the browser's directory representation, right click on the link and select "Copy link" Paste this URL into Taverna after right-clicking on "Available processor" and selecting "Add new Workflow scavanger…". You should see a new branch named after your filename, and you can expand it to see the processors of that workflow. To add this as a nested workflow, drag the workflow itself down to "Processors" in the "Advanced model explorer". If you want to pick-and-choose from the workflow instead, drag the processors individually down to your workflow - note that you would then have to wire them up yourself. If you want to merge the content of the workflow with your current workflow (instead of including it as a nested workflow processor) - right click and select "Import" - you can provide a prefix to avoid name conflicts. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
