    Dear Experts

     

    Please help us understand how Automic Generates a workflow in case of multiple job are present in parallel.

     

    For example,

    We have a workflow , as shown below , which has 4 jobs in parallel. We know that execution of the jobs would be in parallel, i.e. when the workflow reaches point A, all the jobs would go from “waiting for predecessor” to “active” status.

    But we want to understand that in which sequence would the jobs be Generated, i.e. pre-process part of the job would be executed, a RUNID is assigned and Script values would be assigned.  

     

    Thanks and Regards

    I would take a look at this documentation. Specifically steps 1 - 4:

    If you are trying to predict the order of assigned RUNID's, this is never predictable.  The engine runs on multiple WP services, and each WP service has its own unique set of RUNID's assigned to it.  You can not predict which WP a task will run under, so you can not predict which RUNID sequence it will belong to.  Consequently I frequently see early tasks with higher RUNID values than later tasks.
