Scope
- Use Case:
- A Consider the situation where a number of orders that have been added to a job chain - either from a file order source watching incoming files, from Ad Hoc orders or from permanent orders - and that these orders should be forced into serialized processing in with a predefined sort sorting order.
- Solution Outline:
- A single job is added to at the top start of a job chain and that will:
- suspend all incoming orders and check completeness until a predefined idle timeout is has beens reached and no more orders are expected,
- sort the orders in alphabetical sequence of according to the order id ID and move them to the next job node in the job chain.
- A single job is added to at the top start of a job chain and that will:

- Download sort_orders.zip
- Extract the archive to any folder within the
./config/livefolder of your JobScheduler installation. - The archive will extract the files to a folder folder named
sort_orders. - You can store the sample files to a in any folder as you like, the solution does not make use of specific folder names or job names.
