Hi, I want to check the action concurrency.
If several users run the action, Action which first user run will run?
The second user's will not run?
@hyudolee @Misbah
Yes, when running the same action by multiple people at the same time, the actions essentially get put in a queue and the first one runs to completion, and then the second one. This is one of the main reasons we suggest against having end-users run actions (5.01-03). And yes, if multiple people are trying to update the exact same cell by running an action, the last one that runs wins.

Good question!
My understanding is that if end users (with enabled selective access and other security measures) run the action at the same time it runs every body's action successfully. However I still believe that Anaplan doesn't run the action concurrently and it runs them sequentially. I might be wrong
On the other end if end users with same access or WSA admins run the action at the same time then whosoever runs the action last will be saved and all other preceding actions will be overridden. Also as soon as the import is run the model locks itself for end users until the action is successfully completed

Hi, @rob_marshall and @Misbah.
Thanks for replay!
I understand that Action runs in order.
How about Process Action?
Action in Process will never run across?
Process is nothing but the collection of actions that are supposed to run in a chronological manner. Basics will still be the same which is what Rob had mentioned.
Thanks,

Just to add a comment on the question related to process execution and concurrency of actions within a process. The way actions are queued when the same process is executed simultaneously is a bit interesting. For example, if you have Process A with the following actions:
Process A usually takes 50 seconds on average to execute.
So if user 1 ran process A now then 20 seconds after user 2 runs process A as well. The actions don't queue up the way you would expect. What you would normally expect is as follows:
What I've seen after we checked the audit logs is something like as follows:
Sometimes you would even get
So be careful when creating user activated processes as it can cause a lot of problems when you have sequence dependent actions executing as what I've experienced.

Dear Hive Mind, Do we have a way to get the history of a particular List Item, from its creation into a model up until its removal ? I am trying to chase when / how an item has been added into a model and how / when it would have been deleted and then recreated with the same code. Is there a pattern (manual or API) to get…
I have an action in a process which is getting failed since 2 days when run via CloudWorks with below error . No issues when run manually . Same error occurs when run manually but as a warning "Import complete but with failures" This action is running since almost a year without any issue . No change has been made to…
