Fork Join

Overview

The Fork Join task is a control flow construct that enables workflows to execute multiple branches of tasks in parallel. It is useful when independent operations can run simultaneously, improving performance and reducing overall workflow execution time.

Note: Nesting of a FORK_JOIN task within another FORK_JOIN task is not supported.

Parameters

_type	String	No	Enter FORK_JOIN.
_sequenceno	Number	No	Defines the execution order of the task within a workflow.
_forkTasks	Array of Object	Yes	An array of task group arrays to run in parallel.
