How to Serialize the Execution of Jobs and Orders

Introduction

The execution of both jobs and orders can be serialized.

Job Serialization with Locks

Locks can be used to control the execution of jobs in a job chain.

• How to configure sequential execution of jobs in parallel
• How to serialize jobs with locks before parallel execution

For further information about using locks see:

• The Using locks FAQ.
• The Locks section in the JobScheduler reference documentation.

Order Serialization with an Order Sorting Job

An order sorting job can be added at the start of a job chain to ensure that incoming orders are processed by a job chain in a predefined order.

• How to sort orders in a job chain
• How to process orders in an expected sequence
