To complete a data transfer that requires multiple synchronization jobs that need to be run in a specific order, you can schedule a sequence of synchronization jobs in Gateway.
Note: A synchronization job sequence must be setup from the bottom-up, by selecting the next or final synchronization job, followed by the previous synchronization in the job sequence.
To schedule a synchronization job sequence:
- In the sidebar, select Synchronizations.
- In the Synchronization Name column, select the next or the final synchronization that is to be run in a job sequence.
- In theActions menu, select Edit Schedule....
- In the Edit Schedule dialog box:
- Select After Synchronization from the Frequency list.
- Select the previous synchronization that is to be run in the sequence from the Run After Synchronization list.
The previous synchronization must finish with a status of Completed, Completed with Warnings, or Completed with Errors to begin the next synchronization.
If a synchronization fails to run, all subsequent linked synchronizations will not run in the job sequence.
- Repeat the above sequence to set up multiple linked synchronizations in a sequence.
- Select Save.
- To run the job sequence:
- Select the Synchronization Name that was last setup in the job sequence.
- Select Run.
- In the Run Synchronization dialog box, select any of the following options:
- Run only the selected synchronization or
- Run the selected synchronization, and the entire linked job sequence (default)
- Select Confirm.
- On the Monitoring page, review the work done by the job sequence.
Viewing the Synchronization Job Chaining Diagram
To see the job chaining sequence as a flow diagram:
- In the sidebar, select Synchronizations.
- In the Synchronization Name column, select any synchronization job included in the job chaining sequence.
- In theActions menu, select Job Chain Diagram.
- In the Job Chaining Diagram dialog box, select Zoom In, Zoom Out, or Reset Zoom.
- Blue Tile: Represents the job you selected on the Synchronizations page.
- Red Tile: Represents a synchronization no longer included in the chaining sequence.
- Dotted Lines: Represents a sub-set of synchronizations no longer included in the chaining sequence.
