Launch Job activity
The Launch Job activity spawns a new process and executes the existing workflow without waiting for the launched process to complete. The new process is launched asynchronously.
Run time can be set through a context item. At runtime, if the Launch Job activity schedules a workflow that runs in the past, the process compensates.
An example of this feature is verifying the number of servers to run a nightly job. In this example, the site has approximately 2000 servers and the workflow runs for 2 minutes. Rather than run at 2000 multiplied by 2 min., the workflow launches in parallel.
To add a Launch Job activity
In the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio Designer window, drag the Launch Job activity from the activity palette to the process canvas.
