Replicating Workflows with Mistral
==================================
The new command line switch '-s' will allow the operator to replicate / clone
an existing workflow execution based on its ID. Once id is given mistral will
create a new workflow execution based on the parameters of the first, which
will provide a simple approach to spawning a number of workflow executions
without having to specify inputs or parameters. Otherwise you can override
some of the parameters (e.g. some of the input variables)
Basic Usage
-----------
From the command line the operator will issue the following. The first step
would be to list the current executions, which is done with "execution-list".
The following step is to take the listed execution id and pass it to the source
execution switch "-s".
.. code-block:: shell
mistral execution-list
mistral execution-create -s <execution id>
Once the workflow execution is selected and the replicate command used you
should see a newly created workflow execution based on an existing one with
a new execution id.
.. code-block:: shell
mistral execution-create -s 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000
