This article explains how a scenario executes and how data flows through it. It also explains where you can find information about your processed data and how to read it.

Scenario execution flow
After a scenario is set up correctly and activated, it executes according to its defined schedule.
As the scenario begins, the first module responds to an event it has been set to watch for. If it returns any bundles (data), they pass on to the next module and the scenario continues, passing the bundles through each successive module, one by one.
If the bundles process correctly throughout all of the modules, the scenario is marked as a success in the scenario detail area, as explained in Scenario details in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

Information about processed bundles
For each module, the bundle goes through a 4-step process before going on to the next module or reaching its final destination. The 4-step process is Initalization, Operation, Commit/Rollback, and Finalization. This is called transaction processing and it helps to explain how data was processed in a module.
Once a scenario run is complete, each module displays an icon showing the number of operations performed. You can click this icon to display the detailed information about the processed bundles, in the format described above. You can see which modules settings were used and which bundles were returned by which module.
A module received input information such as:
- Converted image
- Selected folder where the image shall be uploaded to
- Original name of the Facebook image
After processing, the module returned this output information:
- Image ID assigned by Dropbox
- Full path where in Dropbox Workfront Fusion uploaded the file
The above information is captured for each bundle separately, as marked by the drop down boxes Operation 1 and Operation 2 in the image.
For more information on transaction processing see Scenario execution, cycles, and phases in Adobe Workfront Fusion.
Error occurred while executing a scenario
An error might occur during the scenario run. For example, if you delete the Dropbox folder that you have set as the target folder in the module setting, the scenario terminates with an error message. For more information about how to handle errors, see Error processing in Adobe Workfront Fusion.
