• JobSchedulerJobChainSplitter
  • The Splitter Job is used to divide processing of a main Job Chain into a number of child Job Chain segments that are then processed in parallel.
  • A Join or Sync Job may be defined later in the Job Chain to bring processing of these child segments back to a single thread.
  • The Splitter Job generates separate Orders for each of the parallel child Job Chain segments. The Splitter Job will then move processing of the main Job Chain to a Join or Sync Job, if such a Job is defined later in the main Job Chain. See the Job Chains article for more information about the patterns that can be executed with the Splitter Job.

  StartingFromRelease 1.11.4

  • The Join Job is used to start or continue processing of a main Job Chain after a predefined number of Orders running on child segments of a Job Chain have been completed.
  • The Join Job is designed for a large number of parallel Orders and is significantly faster for this purpose than the Sync Job described below. Note that the Join Job can only be used within a Job Chain.
  • Note also that the Join Job waits for a predefined number of Orders to be completed - it does not require specific Orders.
• JobSchedulerSynchronizeJobChains
  • The main function of the Sync Job is to synchronize the execution of Jobs in different Job Chains.
    
    • See the How To Synchronize Job Execution Across Job Chains article for information about using the Sync Job to synchronize the execution of Jobs in different Job Chains.
  • Note that However, the Sync Job can also be used with JobScheduler versions 1.11.3 and older to synchronize the execution of Jobs within a Job Chain. Note that the However, the Sync Job is only suitable for use in situations where performance is not an issue - i.e. situations with only a small number of parallel Orders - typically one Order for each Job Chain.

  • See the How To Synchronize Job Execution Across Job Chains article for information about using the Sync Job to synchronize the execution of Jobs in different Job Chains
    
  • • The Join Job described above provides a plug-in replacement for the Sync Job for sync/join operations within a Job Chain. This means that users of JobScheduler 1.11.4 or newer wishing to improve performance of the Sync Job can simply exchange the Jobs. 
      

Examples for Static configuration

For the static configuration of the parallel execution of different Jobs:

• Using the JITL split and join Jobs

  Display feature availability
  StartingFromRelease 1.11.4

  :
  • This pattern is used for parallelization within a single Job Chain.
  • See the following articles for examples and downloads using the split and join Jobs:

    • Example showing how to run parallel jobs repeatedly in a job chain
    • How to Nest Parallel Executing Jobs in a Job Chain  

Examples for Dynamic configuration

Any number of instances of a Job can be dynamically generated and executed in parallel in a Job Chain. This is done using a custom Generate Job and the JITL Join Job.
