Ordering Container Processing

Guys, I alreay looked a few examples, but didn't find a clear one.

 

The follow screenshot it's just an example.

The problema is: The 3º container can only start after the 2º have finished.

 

Right now, the three containers are starting together, so the process doesn't insert all the data correctly.

 

I can't really download anything external, so I would have to build on my workflow. Any directions?

 

Tks

Block unti Done might something you are looking for.

There's not a "true" way to order processing with a standard workflow. You can separate the containers to separate workflows and then use events or the Crew Running Macros to kick off processing in the correct order.

 

Crew macro download here - if you can't download externally, you can recreate these macros yourself as well: http://www.chaosreignswithin.com/p/macros.html

Tks for the help, but the problem is that my sources doesn't have any input anchors and the block until done doesn't connect with containers either

Tks for the help, but I can't really download anything external. It collides with a few compliance issues and limits me to use only standard tools

Yes, you can actually recreate the macros yourself if that is the case. The Crew Macros are open source so you can see/replicate the underlying tools yourself.

I imagine that would work, but the thing is I can't even download the tool. So I can't really se what's going on there

See attached for the macros.

Tks guys, I found a workaround and build a Macro that have a Control and a Action tool conected to my containers.

 

On the workflow I've input an order of execution, and conected that to the macro.

 

When the Order of Execution = 1, then I update all containers, leaving only the first one enabled. And that also happens for every parameter between 1 and 5 (because I'm using 5 containers).

 

I'm closing this topic.
