Understanding of concurrency control in a recurrence workflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

Dear all,

 

I'm trying to figure out how concurrency control influences a recurrence workflow with interval, let's say, 1 min.

To my understanding, if I set the concurrency control to 1, the 2nd loop will be blocked if the 1st loop runs longer than 1 min.

My question is, when will the 2nd loop actually start?

My 1st guess is, the second loop will start immediately once the 1st loop is done.

2nd guess, the second loop will start to count one more minute after the 1st loop is done, and then get executed.

Could you please let me know which case is actually happening?

    Hi @m314159,

     

    According to your description, I have made a test on my side. If the first loop runs for more than 1 minute, the second loop will still run. In addition, your first guess seems to be correct. Once the first loop is completed, The second loop will start immediately.

     

    1.Here is my flow.
