Hi All
I am busy with playing around with node-red . Currently the processes are made active/inactive in the workflow . I am trying to find an easier way for our client to change the processes from “Processing” to “Paused” and vise versa…
I would prefer them not to be able to access workflow to do this .
Is there a solution/workaround to the below screenshot
Thanks

When it comes top Automate solution (Node-RED), you can also check on the web.
In your case, I have found this. Read it. Basically the idea is to setup a switch node that looks at the value of a global variable.
Using your interface, you can set different values to that variable. the switch node would then reroute the flow’s traffic towards which flow you wish to execute.
Many Thanks .
Am I correct in saying that Workflow is not needed at all if you are using Node-Red . If that is the case then I will be able to do exactly what is mentioned .
I was trying to use node red to start/stop an OL Workflow process instead of a node-red process .
Is Node-Red stable for a production environment. The version numbers make me think not. I’m currently building a Dashboard that will allow me to view the incoming data files , processed files and error jobs in a visual way .

Automate hasn’t been released yet.
We are looking to do so in 2025.
You could do something similar using only Workflow by setting up an NodeJS Server input which woud receive a command to change the content of a global variable and use that variable in a process which would call the others processes you want on/off.
