The Enterprise server provides the same functionality as Server Lite but adds user access management. User classes can be assigned and privileges on workflows and the workflow execution can be given to individual users or user classes. In addition scheduled execution capabilities enable workflows to be executed at specific dates and times. The Enterprise Server also provides access to KNIME workflows via Web Services in order integrate with custom build applications and to operate in your service oriented architecture (SOA).

KNIME Enterprise Server provides different repositories and allows implementation of workflows from different user interfaces

Feature Overview

Collaboration

• Workflow repository: pre-configured workflows on server repository, which can be applied to new data sets

User rights management

• Secure user authentication and role management
• User rights at workflow level:

Read, modify workflows

Execute workflows

Create or remove workflows in server repository

Remote and scheduled execution

• Execution of compute- or data-intensive workflows on the server
• Scheduled execution
  By time: execute workflow for data import, or report generation at certain time intervals (daily, weekly, etc.)

Detailed feature description

• Have an expert user pre-configure workflows, store them on the server and allow normal users to trigger the execution with custom parameters
• Prepare data import, report-generating workflows, or any other workflows that need to be run frequently, and define the time intervals for them to be run on the server
• Define a set of workflows to provide the functionality for certain infrequently required tasks (e.g. data preprocessing before importing them into an operational database)
• Integrate KNIME's functionality into other applications via a clean SOA API to trigger workflow execution
