Hi,

A pair of control flow questions:

1) Does a "Task Internal - Job/Task control -> Run Task" act to fork a new task or does it act as a "goto" within the overall flow of the Job. It appears to be the former, but I wanted to make sure. All tasks are in the context of the same Job.

2) What is the best way to cause flow of control to stop (not on error, but in a normal/success case)? Here is a sample (note this is part of a larger, more complex flow).

Task 11
Task 12
if Condition TRUE ---> Task 20, Task 21, Task 22, EXIT
Task 13
Task 14
Task 15
EXIT

The only way I can think to do this is to put "dummy" tasks after Task 15 and Task 22, place conditions on the "dummy tasks" that always force an EXIT.

Thanks,

Chuck

1. the new Task is forked into a new instance. However, in latest version we have added that it wait for completion of that Task (as an option).

2. the best way is to apply a Condition to the Tasks where you want to check something and maybe jump to another Task
