NOTE: Turn off all Scheduled flows before starting Utility flows!!!
Utility Flow Definition
There are 2 types of Utility flows:
1. Single transaction flow (with N or NF at the end of the flow name)
N = Name/Number (Radio button “Single Run” is checked by default) – for one-time particular transaction sync or testing (Account/Opportunity/Product/Quote, etc.)
Note: Single utility flow does not support ampersands (&) and quotes (“)in the name.
2. Bulk Load flows (with DR or DRS at the end of the flow name)
DR = Date Range or DRS = Date Range & Size (Radio button “Scheduled” is checked by default) – for Bulk Load by period (Date Range) and batch size (S).
How to Use Single Run Utility Flow
NOTE: Single utility flow does not support ampersands (&) and quotes (“) in names.
To use Utility flows you will need to:
1. Login into your ISP (Interweave Integration Solution) flows manager
2. Run one of Utility Flows (second low section of the screen) to test

Flow Usage
Single Transaction Utility flows are marked with N, NF, or FN at the end of flow’s name. Utility flows are used only for testing, binding, initial bulk load and catch up with missing data.
Starting/Stopping Utility flow
1. To start a flow, check the checkbox “START” on the same row as the flow name, and then click the “Submit” button at the top or bottom of the table with flows.
2. The currently working active (State=RUNNING) flow is highlighted in Magenta. Active (State=STARTED) flow in a waiting mode is highlighted in Blue.
3. To keep checking the status of running flows, refresh the page or just click “Submit” when NO checkboxes are selected – that is equivalent to refreshing the page.
4. To stop a flow, check the checkbox “STOP” on the same row as the flow name, and then click the “Submit” button at the top or bottom of the table with flows.
5. Stopped flow became white in color (State=STOPPED). If flow became Yellow after stopping it, user must wait until it finishes the current run and became white to use it again.
