Create tasks in a project or folder in Data Integration.

By default, you can have simultaneous or parallel task runs of a task at a given time. To disallow concurrent task runs of a task that are initiated manually, select the Disable simultaneous execution of the task checkbox when you create the task. This checkbox is applicable to all tasks except data loader tasks.
