Complete output before continuing with other steps

Question

I'm putting together a process that needs to create 4 output files, and then perform a series of matching processes between them.

The logic of the matching processes doesn't matter - I just need the output files to be completed before the matching starts. Basically Block until Done, BUT the Output Data tool doesn't have an outgoing connector to attach it to, so that's not an option.

I can always run them as separate workflows, but I was hoping to combine them. I would be scheduling them on the server to run nightly, so I'd rather not have to schedule multiple workflows spaced out to ensure the first one completed before the second one started.

Thoughts?

Swathi, I see what you're saying. I'll have to work out how to do that considering I have 4 output files that need to complete before matching kicks off. Lots of chaining Block until Done tools together, I think.

How do you mean 'chained workflows'? I'm not sure I understand how that works.
