Task Synchronization

Beginning in Version 6.x, all tasks are multithreaded. Each individual task can be synchronized to prevent overlapping schedules. If you do not set a profile for the task title, the default is to allow overlapping schedules.

Profiles
You can set multiple synchronization profiles with different synchronization options. Example for Ftp tasks, you can choose to allow a single overlapping instance, but for email tasks, you can disallow overlapping instances.

Task List
Enter task titles separated by comma's. To specify all the tasks, use: All_Tasks

Options
3 synchronization options are supported
1) Allow overlapping schedules - multiple instances of the same task title can run simultaneously
2) No overlapping schedules, no instances wait - no instances will wait if a previous instance of the same task is running
3) No overlapping schedules, single instance waits - only a single instance will wait if a previous instance of the same task is running

Wait time
If a single instance waits, you can set the maximum wait time to wait for the previously running instance to finish running

After Wait time
If the wait time is exceeded and the previous instance has not finished, you can choose to run the task or abort the run
