Advanced Actionflow Settings

Additional options can be found in the Advanced section of certain action node  Properties and in the Properties for the Actionflow itself, as specified below.

Allow Parallel Runs from One Client

This setting is available in the  Properties for the Actionflow.

When enabled, allows an Actionflow to be run multiple times in parallel from the same client, i.e. another run can be started while the previous run is still being processed. This option is disabled by default.

Prioritise Throughput Over Ordering

This setting is available in the  Properties for the Actionflow and the action nodes, as specified below.

When enabled, records are processed in parallel to optimise performance. This means the order records are processed is nondeterministic.

When disabled (default), records are processed in the order they are provided.

This option is available on the following actions:

  •  Analysis
  •  Bulk Delete
  •  Bulk Update
  •  Calculate
  •  Converge
  •  Delete
  •  Email
  •  For Each
  •  Gateway
  •  HTTP
  •  JSON

Where the Type is set to Delete on the  Bulk Delete action, in the Advanced section, an optional Delete Batch Size can be set to determine the size of the batches. If left blank the batch size set in System Configuration → System Tuning → Delete Batch Size, is used as the default. The System Configuration value can be overridden with this batch size.
