Indicium handling of multiple application system flows - parallel or sequential?


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

We have an application (in this particular case, still on 2022.2) with several application scheduled system flows, of which some flows run very frequently :

system flow 1 ‘generate’ - generates new data   (interval 5 seconds)
system flow 2 ‘print’ - executes print jobs - ZPL to Zebra  (interval 1 second)

Handling flow 2 ‘print’ may take some time to execute. This should not result in delayed execution of flow 1.

Does Indicium handle the different system flows parallel or sequential?
Is this configurable for parallel execution, and how?

Hello ​@Wilfred Bossenbroek,

Indicium handles different system flows in parallel. This is not configurable, because handling them sequentially would cause congestion that would delay other system flows far past their scheduled time.

For multiple instances of the same system flow schedule, there is a setting to control whether they can run in parallel. It’s important to note here that when this setting is turned off, they don’t run sequentially, but a 2nd instance of the same schedule will simply be skipped while the first is still running.

I hope this helps.

Thanks - yes this helps !  :-)

The delay you're referring to was exactly my concern.
