Define Task Precedence
Task Precedence indicates the execution-flow of a Batch. Task Precedence value
facilitates you to determine the order in which the specific Tasks of a Batch are
executed.
For example, consider a Batch consisting of 4 Task. The first 3 Task
does not have a precedence defined and hence will be executed simultaneously during the
Batch execution. But, Task 4 has a precedence value as task 1 which indicates that, Task
4 is executed only after Task 1 has been successfully executed.
You can set Task precedence between Tasks or define to run a Task
after a set of other tasks. However, multiple tasks can be executed simultaneously, and
cyclical execution of tasks is not permitted. If the precedence for a Task is not set,
the Task is executed immediately on Batch execution.
To define the task precedence in the Define Task window, perform the
following steps:
