Introduction

• The ForkList Instruction is the dynamic version of the JS7 - Fork / Join Instruction.
• Technically it implements the Fork / Join operation, however, it offers to create the number of branches dynamically from order variables:
  • The ForkList Instruction expects an order to provide a ForkList Variable Set that is implemented as a list (array) of values. The list can include primitive values such as strings and it can include any number of key/value pairs.
  • The ForkList Instruction is designed as a single branch when configuring the workflow with the Configuration View of the JOC Cockpit user interface. Depending on the number of entries provided with a ForkList Variable Set carried by an order the Agent will dynamically create branches for each entry of the Forklist Variable Set.
• The underlying use case suggests that users want to execute the same workflow in parallel for different variable sets.

The workflow editor offers to add a ForkList Instruction like this:
