Data Warehousing: Control Flow (Definitions)

"A component of a SQL Server Integration Services package that controls the flow of tasks within the package. The high-level workflow of a package. Often contains one or more data flow tasks." (Victor Isakov et al, "MCITP Administrator: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Optimization and Maintenance (70-444) Study Guide", 2007)

"Concept to define causal dependency between process steps to enforce a specific execution order." (Christoph Bussler, "B2B and EAI with Business Process Management", 2009)

"The flow of control defines a partial order relationship between the activities of a business process model, specifying in which temporal order they will be executed." (Cesare Pautasso, "Compiling Business Process Models into Executable Code", 2009)

"A group of connected control flow elements that perform tasks." (Microsoft, "SQL Server 2012 Glossary", 2012)

"An abstract representation of all possible sequences of events (paths) during execution of a component or system. Often represented in graphical form, see control flow graph." (Tilo Linz et al, "Software Testing Foundations" 4th Ed., 2014)

"The control-flow perspective focuses on the control-flow, i.e., the ordering of activities. The goal of mining this perspective is to find a good characterization of all possible paths. Other popular perspectives are the organizational perspective and the case perspective." (Pavlos Delias et al, "Applying Process Mining to the Emergency Department", Encyclopedia of Business Analytics and Optimization, 2014)

"In DB2 data warehousing, a graphical model that sequences data flows and mining flows, integrates external commands, programs, and stored procedures, and provides conditional processing logic for a data warehouse application." (Sybase, "Open Server Server-Library/C Reference Manual", 2019)

"A sequence of events (paths) in the execution through a component or system." (ISTQB)
