The problem: Need to launch a series(over 100) workflows in sequential order from the gallery. Many of these workflows depend on the workflows earlier in the chain finishing before successive workflows are run.
My intended solution
Create a master workflow that can be run to kick off all the other workflows in sequential order with the dependency of each successive workflow finishing before the next workflow is run by using the gallery APIs in control containers.
I created a test workflow with just 2 api calls in the control containers and it works as intended FROM DESKTOP. If I run the workflow from the gallery it does NOT run them in the correct sequence. Anyone know why that would occur?
In this example the 1st workflow that is being called by the api writes a timestamp to a yxdb file on a physical shared drive. The 2nd workflow reads that YXDB file and emails the data found in the yxdb file to me. For example, if I run the master workflow from my desktop at 10:00am, the timestamp in the yxdb file is 10:00am and the data in the email from the 2nd workflow is 10:00am. Then, If I run the workflow from the gallery at 10:15am, the email I get still says 10:00am and not 10:15am; which means the gallery is running the 2nd workflow first.

I got it to work by changing which tools are in the control containers.
