Processing mode
|
The synchronization capability of the step depends on the Processing mode property.
A linear step will run in its parent context while a non-linear step will run in a new thread.
The options are:
-
Linear: Linear steps run in a sequential order one after the other depending on the order and levels defined in the flow.
-
Parallel: Parallel steps run at the same time as other steps defined on the same level.
-
Stand Alone: A component with the stand-alone processing mode is executed at the same time as another step in the flow (in the same way as a Parallel step), however it is executed independently of the flow. A Linear step with Wait for Completion = Yes will not wait for this type of component.
|
Note:
|
All or some of these options may be available in the drop-down list for a component. The available options depend on the Synchronization Ability selected in the Component Repository.

|
Wait for completion
|
In Wait for Completion mode, a linear step will wait until all the parallel steps on the same level are completed. This option is valid only for the Linear Processing mode.
The options are No or Yes.
