CloudWorks Job Dependency Timing

ReshmaKS

If I schedule two CloudWorks jobs, one that loads data into Module A from different Model and a second that runs the actions to move that data into Module B from Module A, will the second job wait until the first job finishes before starting, or will it start at its scheduled time even if the first job is still running.

@ReshmaKS : as per my understanding, if the job is only one import action, even they are launched in the same time, they are waiting for each other, and the second job is just taking more time to finish.

However, if the jobs are processes that every process has multiple actions in it, it is possible that imports from present in the2nd process will start before the 1st process fully finishes with all the steps (all the actions in it) which could produce unexpected results if the processes are interconnected.

The Cloudworks is also an application that is not connected to a singular model. Within an integration flow, there could be multiple jobs launched from multiple models and Cloudworks does not check if the processes are interconnected.

It's still your job to make sure that the processes have enough time to finish the dependent steps, also by using the integration flow where you can have these steps put in order after eachother and you can schedule the integration flow and not the integrations&processes by themselves.

Hope it helps
