• The workflow executes a number of jobs and an JS7 - AddOrder Instruction for workflow B.
• Starting from the AddOrder Instruction workflow B runs asynchronously and in parallel.
• Subsequently a JS7 - ExpectNotice ExpectNotices Instruction makes workflow A wait for completion of workflow B.
  • The ExpectNotice Instruction can be used immediately after use of the AddOrder Instruction.
  • The ExpectNotice Instruction can be used at any later node in workflow A.
