How to split and sync jobs in a job chain

Scope

• Use Case
  • Run parts of a job chain in parallel, i.e. split jobs for parallel processing.
  • Synchronize jobs after parallel processing
• Solution Outline
  • Two standard JITL Jobs are provided for this:
    • split an incoming order into multiple orders that are running in parallel through a job chain within a range of predefined job chain nodes,
    • sync the orders that have previously been split in a job chain node, i.e. this node forces any split orders to complete to this node before processing continues.
• References
  • Example showing how to set up a splitter job
  • Example for parallel execution

Solution

• Download split_sync.zip
• Extract the archive to a folder ./config/live/issues of your JobScheduler installation.
• The archive will extract the files to a folder split_sync. 
• You can store the sample files to a any folder as you like, the solution does not make use of specific folder names or job names.
