Unit 18. Worklets and More Tasks

This document discusses worklets, timer tasks, and control tasks in Informatica workflows. It provides the following information: - Worklets allow grouping of tasks and can contain any workflow tasks. They expand and execute inside parent workflows and can be nested or reusable. Reusable worklets are created in the Worklet Designer while non-reusable ones use the Workflow Designer. - Timer tasks wait a specified time period before executing the next task, using either absolute time, datetime variables, or relative time settings. - Control tasks stop or abort workflows using options like fail, stop, or abort to set task/workflow status. They provide failure handling and error control. - The unit lab
