Data Process runs in different times

MBVilela — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 14:09:01 GMT

Hi, Please could somebody help me... I need to do a process job (in Data Flux) with three data jobs linked, so that when I start the Process job (manually), the 1 and 2 data jobs run and the third data job wait 10 minutes to start since the process starts... is possible?

Each node has a start time and end time that can be reused in macro variables. You can either use a If/Then node or an expression node, or even an alert for triggering your process job 10min later.

HI,

Thanks for your help. I used the function Sleep()

Making your node dependent on the termination of another node feels like a much better approach than just a hard coded sleep().

If you just wait "dumb" 10 minutes then you'll often will waste time for you process to finish but you also risk that on this special day where your environment is very busy a 10 minute wait is not long enough.
